Haunted -- is this what you mean?
Restricted area arc[edit]
The restricted area arc is a semi-circular arc drawn around the area directly underneath the basket. With some exceptions, defending teammates cannot draw charging fouls in this area. The restricted arc in NBA and WNBA competition has a radius 4 feet (1.22 m) from below the center of the basket. The restricted arc inNCAA competition (both men's and women's) is of radius 3 feet (0.91 m) from below the center of the basket.

THANKS, Spidey; I've been asking this question for months now, you are first person with an answer!!
You are welcome/ the power of internet search.
It's also the area where LeBron James was abusing Paul Pierce last night. 
...and under which Sterling should be planted...
I think that Sterlings girl friend looks like she might be transgender.
