WTH? When did the 10-second line become the 8-second line?

at least two years ago. :confused:

EDIT: It was even longer than that--they started using it in the 2001-2002 season, so 4 years ago. :laugh:

The center court line. After a team scores, the opposition has 8 seconds to get the ball past the half court line otherwise, it's a turnover.

Ah I was thinking that but I always referred to it as a 'rule' instead of a 'line'.
