The meaning of the dotted half Circle at the top of the key:
Hello I thought Red Kerr played basketball. The dotted half circle completed the top of the key so if ther is a jump ball near the hoop the ball can be tossed there. The circle defines the boundary the players not involved in the jump ball must not cross until the ball is touched after the toss.
