Rule changes

A new rule prohibited any offensive player with the ball from standing in the free-throw lane (also known as the "key") for more than three seconds. Previously, this rule had applied only to a player who had possession of the ball.[1]

In 1995, the Premo-Porretta Power Poll retroactively selected Long Island as its national champion for the 1935–36 season.[3]
