The back of the free throw line is 13 feet 9 inches from the center of the goal.

FYI: The standard goal is 18 inches (ID).

The goal is attached to a 6 inch bridge .

The bridge is attached to the backboard.

The center of the goal is 1 foot 3 inches from the front of the backboard.

This makes the backboard 15 feet from the back of the free throw line.

Which position in basketball always takes out the ball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Usually, the play that the team is using determines which player inbounds the ball. (Either after a foul, out of bounds, or shot.) Most of the time one of the guards/wings will inbound the ball with the point guard, but sometimes the person who catches the ball after the basket will just step out of bounds and pass it in.
