How far is half court?

Answer 1

Half the length of the court, right? Well not exactly. The key word is far.

First: NBA and NCAA courts are 47 feet for each of 2 courts not counting a 2 inch separation at the center, where the 2 halves meet.

Second: The center of the basket is out 5 feet 3 inches from the inside of the base line: ( backboard 4 feet + bridge 6 inches + one half of the 18 inch (ID) goal ) = 4' + 6" + 9" = 5' 3"

Third: For a half court shot you are standing just past the center line. The line is 2 inches wide.

So the half court distance to the goal center is: [ ( 47'+ 2"(line)) - 5' 3"] or

41' 11" minimum.
