What is everyone else calculating as the distance to the middle hoops from the side of the fender. Some of my students calculated the distance from the front to be over 14 inches--but they calculated the distance from the side to be less than 14 inches. Even after hearing what seems like a good explanation, I am skeptical. It is my understanding that the purpose of the fender was to protect the hoops by making it impossible to reach the hoops with an arm. We are questioning our ability to build a shooter, so we really need to figure out if an arm has the potential to score a basket.
