Court and Basket
Also known as: Court dimensions, Rim height
Court size, lane width and the one number every league agrees on.
The rule
The rim is 3.05 m (10 ft) above the floor in every rulebook here, wheelchair basketball included. The lane (also called the paint or key) is the rectangle under each basket. Court size and lane width depend on the rulebook.
