The line is measured from the CENTER of the basket using a plumb bob.

In the U.S., college and high school rules for both men and women specify a distance of 19 feet, 9 inches (6.02 m) from the basket. This line lies at the same distance from the basket as the top of the key, so the 3 point line coincides with the top of the key at the center point.
