My mother played college BB against Immaculata in the late 1940s


...She said they were well known as a powerhouse among Catholic women's colleges in the East at the time and hardly ever lost, so if the program did really go to pieces by the time Cathy Rush took it over, it had taken a very long fall.

When my mother played, they were playing under old 6-player rules (only 2 dribbles at a time). She said the Immaculata gym had the sidelines right up against the wall and she got rammed into the wall by an Immaculata player and broke her foot.

I saw that in the movie, the court was either flat up against the wall or they barely had a sideline. How, then, did they play out of bounds? Could they play the ball off the wall, or were other makeshift rules in place?
