Talk:Basketball court

message: The word "key" appears only once in this article, in discussion of a half-court game (which have varying rules anyways).  It is not defined, so a reader unfamiliar with basketball would have no idea what it refers to.  In addition, the derivation of the term could be added.

thread_title: The key

message: "The key is primarily used to prevent players from staying beneath the basket for long periods."
*How?  I have a feeling it has to do with the "3 second rule" but I don't know all the details of how the 3 second violation works, if this is indeed even the reason.  As it is now the statement is unexplained and confusing.  Can someone that knows please clear it up?  Thank you. KenFehling (talk) 16:06, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The Key is also parenthetically called "restricted area" in the table of measurements, which is incorrect.  The "restricted area" is not the painted lane of the key, it's the arc underneath the basket.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.116.99.66 (talk) 02:20, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Key

message: The restricted area is marked as "Nonexistent" for NCAA men's and women's on the table of measurements.  As of 2011-12, this is incorrect.  Both now use a 3-foot restricted-lane arc under the basket.  (I don't know about HS and JHS, though.)

message: We need a diagram of a North American court to accompany the FIBA one, to demonstrate how they are different.  Right now we have a diagram of a FIBA court, but most of the description is of a North American one. 68.40.65.164 22:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know the rationale for FIBA abandoning the trapezoid key and adopting the NBA style key? I can't find their reasoning anywhere. Van Dieman (talk) 03:32, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don’t think they really had any, but if you think the NBA was gonna change to be in accordance with FIBA you’re out of your freakin’ mind. —Wiki Wikardo 05:19, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

message: The ledge says something about tiles at the end of a basketball court. I have never seen any tiles at the end of a basketball court, but perhaps this is a reflection of differences between American and other forms of English, or perhaps outside of the US they do,have tiles at the end of courts.
