the experience Of the committee that
a player frequently has been deprived Of
well-earned field goal because In
throwing the ball his foot touched the
boundary line.
Often there Is serious question Of
doubt in the referees mind as 10
whether. a player is in OF out Of bound

cordlngly the Rules Committee has add
ed an extension 10 the end boundary
line in the form OF an arc Of cir

it, greatest width directly back Of the
basket. Thus the entire blackboard Is
within bounds and on the floor the
player has an additional leeway OF two
