RULE 4 / DEFINITIONS<br />

the same status as when it was last in contact with a player or the<br />
playing court. This does not apply to a try in flight.<br />
b. A throw-in to the offended team (men) at the division line for a single<br />

occurred for a contact dead ball technical foul, an administrative technical<br />

Section 56. Restricted Area<br />
The restricted area is defined as the area bounded by the outer edge of the restricted<br />
area arc, which has a 3-foot radius measured from the center of the basket and<br />
extending to the face of the backboard (See court diagram in Rule 1). A secondary<br />
defender is considered to be in the restricted area when any part of either foot is in<br />
or above this area.
