Basketball court dimensions in practice vary in overall length and width. In many areas of the country, older high school gymnasiums in particular have smaller overall size than regulation. Many of these same gyms have varying backboard designs and dimensions.
Basketball Court Dimensions
NBA and College – 94 feet long and 50 feet wide
High School – 84 feet long and 50 feet wide
Junior High – 74 feet long and 42 feet wide
The Foul Line:
For all courts the “foul line” distance is 15 feet from the foul line to the front of the backboard. This measurement is commonly confused as from the center of the basket and front of the rim.
The Key:
Standard for all basketball courts, “the key” (sometimes called “the lane”) is 12 feet wide. Regulation courts have the backboard extending out 4 feet over the baseline into the key. A 6 foot arc (half circle) extends from the foul line away from the basket to complete the key.

Let me tell you a story about a high school basketball team which focused almost all of its basketball offensive plays on high tempo sets. Their tallest player was only a few inches over six feet, and most of the other players were less than six feet tall. They went to a tournament where the two teams expected to meet in the final had huge players. One of those two teams had two seven-footers, one playing the center position, and the other the power forward position. Yet, this small team which ran a fast break on every single play managed to win the tournament and beat these huge teams. When one of the big guys would dunk on them and waste time celebrating, the Run and Gun team would quickly move the ball up the court and often hit an open three-pointer, negating the dunk on the other end. They were not as physically gifted, but because they used only basketball offensive plays that usually took only seven seconds or less, they were able to wear teams down and beat them with their system and superior conditioning
