trivia question
okay, so i play trivia on tuesdays. tonight they asked “what is the distance from the foul line to the backboard in basketball.” i was once told that the measurement is from the middle of the basket, and thus = 15 feet. so the backboard to me, has to be 16 feet. i was wrong, according to the trivia dude. why would someone tell me this previously incorrect answer? where is the fucking foul line measured from?
