Answer
In 1935, a rule was adopted that stopped any offensive player from standing in the free throw lane for more than three seconds.
In 1955, the foul lane was widened to 12 feet (3.7 meters) from the previous 6 feet (1.83 meters).
These changes resulted in more offensive movement and less rough physical contact near the basket.
