Like many rookie and veteran coaches, you probably have had little formal instruction on how to coach. But when the call went out for coaches to assist with the local youth basketball program, you answered because you like children and enjoy basketball, and perhaps because you wanted to be involved in a worthwhile community activity. Your initial coaching assignment may be difficult. Like many volunteers, you may not know everything there is to know about basketball or about how to work with children. Coaching Youth Basketball will help you learn the basics of coaching basketball effectively. To start, let's take a look at what's involved in being a coach.

  • Dr. James Naismith's 13 Original Rules of Basketball
    DR. JAMES NAISMITH’S 13 ORIGINAL RULES OF BASKETBALL 1. The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands. 2. The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands (never with the fist). 3. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowance to be made for a man who catches the ball when running at a good speed. 4. The ball must be held in or between the hands; the arms or body must not be used for holding it. 5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping, or striking in any way the person of an opponent shall be allowed; the first infringement of this rule by any person shall count as a foul, the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made, or if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game, no substitute allowed. 6. A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violation of rules 3 and 4, and such as described in rule 5. 7. If either side makes three consecutive fouls, it shall count a goal for the opponents (consecutive means without the opponents in the meantime making a foul). 8. A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into the basket and stays there, providing those defending the goal do not touch or disturb the goal. If the ball rests on the edge and the opponent moves the basket it shall count as a goal.

  • Basketball and Philosophy, Edited by Jerry L
    BASKE TBALL AND PHILOSOPHY The Philosophy of Popular Culture The books published in the Philosophy of Popular Culture series will il- luminate and explore philosophical themes and ideas that occur in popu- lar culture. The goal of this series is to demonstrate how philosophical inquiry has been reinvigorated by increased scholarly interest in the inter- section of popular culture and philosophy, as well as to explore through philosophical analysis beloved modes of entertainment, such as movies, TV shows, and music. Philosophical concepts will be made accessible to the general reader through examples in popular culture. This series seeks to publish both established and emerging scholars who will engage a major area of popular culture for philosophical interpretation and exam- ine the philosophical underpinnings of its themes. Eschewing ephemeral trends of philosophical and cultural theory, authors will establish and elaborate on connections between traditional philosophical ideas from important thinkers and the ever-expanding world of popular culture.

  • Sport and National Identity in Taiwan: Some Preliminary Thoughts
    Sport and National Identity in Taiwan: Some Preliminary Thoughts Dong-Jhy Hwang Wei-Cheng Chiu National Taiwan Sport University National Taiwan Sport University Abstract For over two decades or more, the issues of sport and national identity have generated critical discussion in the West and in the East. Sports manifest themselves in many different forms, depending on the historical moment, ethnic group, and nation. It is through participating in and supporting the rituals and competitions of sporting events that people develop a sense of belonging to a community. Sports remain a critical catalyst to arouse people’s passions for political, social and cultural identities. At the beginnings of modern sports, including the Olympics in 1890s, national passions were transformed into something like religious festivities, with meaningful symbols and material interests. This paper addresses several questions, with special reference to Taiwan’s sports history. Why did sport and political identity come to be so closely related? How do they construct and reproduce one another? What kind of sports has been related to Taiwanese identity? The analysis of the paper integrates modern sports history and a number of historical and sociological theories as well as archival materials. In conclusion, we argue that the interactive influence of national identity, global capitalism and nationalism has concurrently spawned a new identity matrix that links Taiwan with international identities yet does not lose sight of Taiwanese individuality. Key words: modern sports, national identity, Olympics, Taiwan Introduction According to Chia-lung Lin (2002: 224), “The awakening of Taiwanese consciousness among native Taiwanese and the Mainlanders’ deepening sense of crisis have made identity politics the most salient issue on Taiwan’s political agenda since the onset of democratization”.

  • Dehexing Postwar West Balkan Masculinities: the Case of Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia, 1998 to 2015 Marko Dumancic, Western Kentucky University
    Western Kentucky University From the SelectedWorks of Marko Dumančić January 12, 2016 Dehexing Postwar West Balkan Masculinities: The Case of Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia, 1998 to 2015 Marko Dumancic, Western Kentucky University Available at: https://works.bepress.com/marko-dumancic/3/ The analysis of post-Yugoslav and West Balkan masculinities remains, perhaps unsurprisingly, tethered to the study of interethnic warfare, postconflict reconciliation, and radical right-wing politics (Milojevic´ 2012; Pavlovic´ 1999; Irvine and Lilly 2007; Bracewell 2000; Hayden 2000; Munn 2008).1 Although recent scholarship has explored more fully the position of men who do not benefit from the so-called patriarchal dividend (Milicevic´ 2006; Zarkov 2001), West Balkan men are by and large studied as participants (whether active or passive) in a range of oppressive sociopolitical structures (Capriqi 2012; Rosic´ 2012). Although the scholarship analyzing the correlation between violence and West Balkan masculinity adds a unique and relevant nuance to the study of globalized violence, scholars too often study and depict traditional Balkan masculinities as an exclusively conservative bulwark against modernization writ large without advancing alternative understandings of West Balkan masculinity.2 For the local intelligentsia and urban media outlets too, Balkan masculinity represents forces of isolationism and exclusivist ethno-nationalism, especially in the context of European integration. If one were to judge by current Bosnian, Croatian, or Serbian media commentary, the West Balkans are, no less than they were a hundred years ago, at the crossroads between traditionalization and modernization, with the patriarchal system actively sabotaging modernity’s successful evolution in the region. Thus in both Western scholarship and West Balkan media outlets, masculine identities stand in for antimodern forces: backwardness, parochialism, and (neo-) traditionalism.

Greyser Kenneth Cortsen Working Paper 21-111 MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. Stephen A.

MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. April 8, 2021 Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to analyze how soccer at the professional level in the U.S., with Major League Soccer as a focal point, has developed over the span of a quarter of a century. It is worthwhile to examine the growth of MLS from its first game in 1996 to where the league currently stands as a business as it moves past its 25th anniversary. The 1994 World Cup (held in the U.S.) and the subsequent implementation of MLS as a U.S. professional league exerted a major positive influence on soccer participation and fandom in the U.S. Consequently, more importance was placed on soccer in the country’s culture. The research reported here explores the league’s evolution and development through the cohesion existing between its sporting and business development, as well as its performance.
