HORSE Shootout Rules H-O-R-S-E is a game played by two people on a basketball court. The idea of the game involves matching baskets. The player who makes shots that the opponent does not duplicate, wins the game. Example: The second person shooting must duplicate the first person's shot, if it is made. If the second shooter misses, he/she receives the letter "H". If the first person's shot is missed, the second shooter may attempt any shot. If his/her shot is made, the opponent is obligated to duplicate it. Each time a shooter misses a shot that he/she attempted to duplicate, a letter is "awarded". The game continues until one person accumulates 5 letters or H-O-R-S-E. The Rules 1. The person who will shoot first will be determined by coin flip or basket shot. 2. Shots can be attempted from anywhere on the court. No dunking or stuffs. 3. Shots may be "slop" shots or "called" shots. "Called" shots must be made as the call indicates or counts as a miss. "Called" shots must be called before the shot. "Called" shots are as follows: a. Bank - off backboard and into basket, may touch rim. b. Bank Swish - off backboard and into basket without touching rim. c. Straight In - must go into basket without touching backboard or rim. d. Swish - directly into basket without touching backboard or rim. e. Opposite Hand - if shooter is right handed the shot is attempted with left hand and vice versa. f. Jump Shot - both feet off court when ball is released. g. Set Shot - both feet in contact with court when ball is released. h. Hook Shot - ball is released in arch over the body. 4. Trick shots involving spins and ball movement prior to release are not allowed. 5. No shot may be attempted twice in a row from the same spot to give the opponent 2 consecutive letters. 6.

25 Misunderstood Rules in High School Basketball
25 Misunderstood Rules in High School Basketball 1. There is no 3-second count between the release of a shot and the control of a rebound, at which time a new count starts. 2. A player can go out of bounds, and return inbounds and be the first to touch the ball l! Comment: This is not the NFL. You can be the first to touch a ball if you were out of bounds. 3. There is no such thing as “over the back”. There must be contact resulting in advantage/disadvantage. Do not put a tall player at a disadvantage merely for being tall 4. “Reaching” is not a foul. There must be contact and the player with the ball must have been placed at a disadvantage. 5. A player can always recover his/her fumbled ball; a fumble is not a dribble, and any steps taken during recovery are not traveling, regardless of progress made and/or advantage gained! (Running while fumbling is not traveling!) Comment: You can fumble a pass, recover it and legally begin a dribble. This is not a double dribble. If the player bats the ball to the floor in a controlling fashion, picks the ball up, then begins to dribble, you now have a violation. 6. It is not possible for a player to travel while dribbling. 7. A high dribble is always legal provided the dribbler’s hand stays on top of the ball, and the ball does not come to rest in the dribblers’ hand. Comment: The key is whether or not the ball is at rest in the hand.

The Fundamentals of Shooting the Basketball
The Fundamentals of Shooting the Basketball The objective of the offense in Basketball is accuracy of each attempted shot. Most players recognize this; but, only the better shooters learn how to practice correctly and work at improvement year round. Since most of this practice sessions are alone, every player must be his own critic. This means he\she must understand the proper mechanics that affect the success, or failure, of every shot. Every player must know his range and know what is a good shot. Therefore, before examining the techniques associated with the various shots, a good basketball player is expected to have in his arsenal, here are the principles at work in every scoring shot from anywhere on a basketball court. These are divided into two parts, the mental aspect and the physical aspect: 1. Mental. At no time is psychological conditioning more critical than when shooting the basketball in a game. Knowing when to shoot and being able to do it effectively under pressure distinguishes the great shooter from the ordinary. Regardless of how much he practices, or how well he conditions himself, only a modest amount of improvement is possible in speed, reflexes, or strength. History gives many examples of players able to achieve greatness despite mediocre physical talent. Usually, however, such successes are due to determination. a. Concentration: is the fixing of attention on the job at hand and is characteristic of every great athlete. Through continuous practice, good shooters develop their concentration to the extent that they are oblivious to every distraction. Ability to relax: is closely related to concentration.

Analyzing Sometimes It's Helpful to Start by Summarizing the Work in One Sentence, Just So You're Sure What's Going On
2 CHAPTER 2 • CLOSE READING Of joy, & we knew we were Beautiful & dangerous. 40 {1992) Analyzing Sometimes it's helpful to start by summarizing the work in one sentence, just so you're sure what's going on. In "Slam, Dunk, & Hook," the speaker expresses how basketball provided an escape from his life's troubles. Clearly, even this initial statement engages in a certain level of interpretation-not only does it state that the poem is about basketball, but it also draws the inference that the speaker's life was troubled and that basketball was his means of escape. The next step is examining what makes the poem more complex than this brief summary. How does Komunyakaa convey a sense of exuberance? of joy? of danger? How does he make the situation something we feel rather than just read about? Let's begin our analysis by thinking a bit about the poem's title. It's all about action, about moves. But a "slam dunk" is just one move, so why is there a comma between "Slam" and "Dunk"? Does this construction anticipate the rhythm in the poem itself? Our next consideration could be the speaker, who is evidently reflect ing on a time in his youth when he played basketball with his friends. The speaker describes the "metal hoop" that was "Nailed to [their] oak" and a backboard "splin tered" by hard use. We're not in the world of professional sports or even in the school gym. You will probably notice some things about the poem as a whole, such as its short lines, strong verbs, and vivid images.

5 Backboards & out of Bounds
Each week during the winter season all SYC Basketball officials will receive a "best practices email" focusing on various areas of basketball officiating. All of the articles are posted on the SYC Website for reference @ https://www.sycva.com/refbestpractices Let’s talk the backboard and out of bounds this week. Did you know there are two different shapes of backboards (rectangular and fan-shaped)? It’s important to know the difference between the two. The Basketball Rules Book tells us what the rules are, but, doesn't get into the "what if" game scenarios. That's where the Case Book comes in. The Case Book reviews plays and situations and elaborates on what the rules mean, and how they should be applied in a game. Rule 7-1-2, Out of Bounds, Player – Ball, says: The ball is out of bounds: a. When it touches or is touched by: 1. A player who is out of bounds. 2. Any other person, the floor, or any object on or outside a boundary. 3. The supports or back of the backboard. 4. The ceiling, overhead equipment or supports. b. When it passes over a rectangular backboard. The corresponding Case Book play (below) specifically addresses the difference between a fan-shaped and rectangular backboard. 7.1.2 SITUATION A: The ball strikes the side edge or top edge of the backboard or passes over the top of the backboard and the ball: (a) came from a throw-in from behind the plane of the backboard; or (b) from a pass or try from the front or back of the plane of the backboard.

EFFECTIVE OFFENSIVE POST PLAY INVOLVES “CREATING SPACE” It
EFFECTIVE OFFENSIVE POST PLAY INVOLVES “CREATING SPACE” It is a misconception, when shooting in the low post area, the player should shoot over the opponent. That works well if you’re seven feet tall, but what about those who are at the short end of the height mismatch? How do they get an open shot? LOCATION FOR INITIATING MOVES The answer lies in “creating space” from the defender. We’re going to assume the taller defender is not going to front his opponent and the ball can be caught at the mid post. The mid post is the most effective starting place for post moves. Too low and there is no baseline option. If a player is straddling a point any lower than the first line above the block, he is too low. Pivoting baseline to face the basket from the mid post provides a perfect angle for the bank shot: the forty-five degree angle. The mid post location is also good for stepping into the key for the hook shot, or making a drive toward the hoop. CREATING SPACE No offensive arsenal, from any location on the floor, is effective without the threat of penetration. Even the greatest offensive player in history, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, was a constant threat to wheel around a defender for the short hook shot. This threat caused defenders to give him space by backing off. Any player who played Kareem tight, would immediately find Kareem closer to the basket than he was. The threat of the drive creates space. Therefore, we must teach our post, when posting up with the defender behind, to read the defense and make baseline drop step, baseline spin move, or hook shot across the key if possible.
