April Official Mini-Basket Rules Version 1.0 2015 As approved by Canada Basketball Toronto, Canada, 2015 Valid as of September 2015 Endorsements: This document is the ideal resource for administrators, coaches, athletes and parents who want to maximize the use of 3v3 or 4v4 basketball competition. It clearly captures the WHO -- WHAT -- WHY -- and HOW of 3 versus 3 participation. This has been achieved based on a blend of research, theory, forward thinking and practical application. The authors’ information stretches the boundaries of perception and opens new avenues for youth development. Provided you are willing to open your mind 100 percent to this revolutionary procedure, for teaching, learning, participating and growing the game; this manual is for YOU. Critical focus has been applied to these vital factors that will create emotional engagement. Those factors are: • Fun • Authentic participation • Directed Competition • Learning • Skill development • Personal success This primer could not come at a more opportune time, as 3X3 takes on Global relevance. Surely 3X3 will conclude with an elevation in status to an Olympic Game Competition. Thus, I recommend you use this Mini-Basket resource as an on-going reference and guide to youth in competition and development. Its wisdom will positively impact you. George Raveling Director NIKE International Basketball Global Sports Marketing All of Raveling’s international work with basketball was recognized in 2015 as he was awarded the John W. Bunn Lifetime Achievement Award by the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. And on September 11th, 2015 Raveling was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. 3 “It’s exciting to see what Canada Basketball has done with the development of Mini-Basket. There is a tremendous need for youth basketball players to learn the sport within a context that is suitable for their age and ability while focusing on proper development. Mini basket addresses this need in a way that is fun, competitive, and enables all players to develop an understanding of concepts that are directly transferable to the adult 5 on 5 game.” Lisa Thomaidis Head Coach, Canada Basketball Senior Women’s National Team “Canada Basketball has developed a progressive competition model that will support the application of fundamental skills for our young players. The opportunity for these players to get increased skill repetitions and touches in a competition will lead to building more complete players and continue to push Canada's growth in basketball.” Jay Triano Head Coach, Canada Basketball Senior Men’s National Team “I applaud Canada Basketball’s initiative to change the competition philosophy for youth basketball. Mini-Basket is a fun way for young children to grow, learn and develop into the adult game. Allowing the youngsters to build skills and explore the game built in a context ideal for their individual development is the next evolution for basketball.” Dwane Casey Head Coach, Toronto Raptors 4 Foreward Dear Coaches, Administrators and Basketball Leaders, We hope you find this Mini-Basket competition model a valuable adaptation for your program’s competition model. Mini-Basket 3 v 3 and 4 v 4 are designed with an athlete-centered mentality that focuses on the athlete and their development. Mini-Basket was developed from input from multiple Canadian basketball experts, international coaches and leaders spanning across more than 15 basketball nations. Mini-Basket is aligned with both the FIBA and FIBA 3X3 rules. As FIBA 3X3 has proven to be a successful international game for adults, Mini-Basket 3 v 3 and 4 v 4 are the competitions adopted for youth, which incorporates the Canadian Long Term Athlete Development Model principles. As coaches and administrators, we encourage you not to let any of the fine details in Mini-Basket dissuade you from the movement towards this philosophy in youth competition. What is important is that we uphold the spirit and intent of Mini- Basket by giving young athletes an environment to learn and grow in competition that is appropriate to their stage of development. Allow for creativity in adaptations to find the best fit for Mini-Basket in your program. Thank you for your commitment to impacting and improving basketball in Canada and the world. Dawn Smyth Manager, Coach Education and Development 5 Acknowledgements Canada Basketball wishes to acknowledge the effort and enthusiasm of the following individuals who have contributed to the accomplishment of this project.

The philosophy of Mini-Basket is to give children the opportunity to play a game that is more appropriately suited to the development of their physical, mental and basketball skills by instituting long term athlete development (LTAD) modifications to the adult game. By giving the athletes a greater number of repetitions and touches, Mini-Basket is player oriented with an increased emphasis on skill development with a focus on the teaching and loading of actions. The aim of Mini-Basket is to provide a rich and high quality experience for youth basketball players. In turn, these positive experiences will help foster their passion as they grow with the sport. The emphasis of Mini-Basket is on the quality of the experience and its appropriateness to the age and ability of the participant. The adult game of basketball is played with a large ball, a full court and ten-foot baskets. In Mini-Basket, the size of the ball, court size, number of players and height of the hoop are all reduced. There are fewer rules that are gradually introduced as the player’s progress in their skill development and understanding of the game, keeping it developmentally appropriate. Why Mini-Basket? Benefit 1: Increased Handling of the Ball When youth play traditional 5 on 5 games, it is common for 1-2 players to rarely touch the ball. This is especially true when a team has 1-2 dominant players who are the best ball handlers or are early developers. Teammates tend to pass the ball to those players and those players tend to take the ball to the basket and sometimes coast to coast, failing to develop their team and decision making skills. The result is other players are not developing their skills, the dominant player is only working on a few skills, and the team isn’t developing as a whole. In Mini-Basket, everyone must be involved for a team to have success. All players get to handle the ball almost every possession allowing for more skill repetition in a competition environment and therefore, providing the best opportunity for skill development. Benefit 2: Better Spacing Even with the smaller bodies of young players, 5 on 5 games are crowded. Youth basketball is not the right environment for players to practice dribbling through double teams or passing through multiple types of coverage - their skill package is underdeveloped to be successful in those areas. Mini-Basket opens the court up and provides players with more room to operate. Youth can play in open space, allowing them to practice and load their skills without multiple defenders crowding the ball. This spacing also allows for players to practice individual and team decision-making skills (advantages, when to shoot/pass/drive). 8 Benefit 3: Focus on Basketball Skills and Actions Mini-Basket emphasizes not only individual skills, but 2 and 3 player actions as well. Further developing the athletes as these actions are the foundation for successful 5 on 5 play. The focus is on concept development as opposed to being system and set oriented. Defence for Mini-Basket is player-to-player, creating opportunities at the offensive end for freedom, decision-making and creativity to develop. Benefit 4: More Directed Competition Games in Mini-Basket competitions are shorter in duration but more frequent, allowing players to face multiple opponents in one competition day. The number of players is reduced, allowing for maximal competition experience and playing time during this developmental stage. Players can play in classifications (A, AA and AAA) based on their development and skill level to challenge the elite players while keeping new and late developing players involved. Playing Mini-Basket 3 v 3 Youth play 3 players against 3 players with a small ball (size 3-5, based on development level) and an 8-foot (2.44m or 2.60m) hoop.

    Basketball Teams as Strategic Networks Jennifer H. Fewell1,3*, Dieter Armbruster2,3, John Ingraham2, Alexander Petersen2, James S. Waters1 1 School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, United States of America, 2 School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, United States of America, 3 Center for Social Dynamics and Complexity, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, United States of America Abstract We asked how team dynamics can be captured in relation to function by considering games in the first round of the NBA 2010 play-offs as networks. Defining players as nodes and ball movements as links, we analyzed the network properties of degree centrality, clustering, entropy and flow centrality across teams and positions, to characterize the game from a network perspective and to determine whether we can assess differences in team offensive strategy by their network properties. The compiled network structure across teams reflected a fundamental attribute of basketball strategy. They primarily showed a centralized ball distribution pattern with the point guard in a leadership role. However, individual play- off teams showed variation in their relative involvement of other players/positions in ball distribution, reflected quantitatively by differences in clustering and degree centrality. We also characterized two potential alternate offensive strategies by associated variation in network structure: (1) whether teams consistently moved the ball towards their shooting specialists, measured as ‘‘uphill/downhill’’ flux, and (2) whether they distributed the ball in a way that reduced predictability, measured as team entropy. These network metrics quantified different aspects of team strategy, with no single metric wholly predictive of success.

While this call to action has strongly influenced the interdisciplinary impulse of performance studies and prompted important cross- disciplinary investigations between performance genres such as theatre, dance, performance art, political performance, ritual, and play, sport has remained under- theorized in the field. In this project, I begin to fill this gap by approaching the practices, activities, and events of twenty-first century sport through the lens of performance studies.

    Ranking the Greatest NBA Players: an Analytics Analysis

    1 Ranking the Greatest NBA Players: An Analytics Analysis An Honors Thesis by Jeremy Mertz Thesis Advisor Dr. Lawrence Judge Ball State University Muncie, Indiana July 2015 Expected Date of Graduation May 2015 1-' ,II L II/du, t,- i II/em' /.. 2 ?t; q ·7t./ 2 (11 S Ranking the Greatest NBA Players: An Analytics Analysis . Iv/If 7 Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to present a statistical model to help rank top National Basketball Association (NBA) players of all time. As the sport of basketball evolves, the debate on who is the greatest player of all-time in the NBA never seems to reach consensus. This ongoing debate can sometimes become emotional and personal, leading to arguments and in extreme cases resulting in violence and subsequent arrest. Creating a statistical model to rank players may also help coaches determine important variables for player development and aid in future approaches to the game via key data-driven performance indicators. However, computing this type of model is extremely difficult due to the many individual player statistics and achievements to consider, as well as the impact of changes to the game over time on individual player performance analysis. This study used linear regression to create an accurate model for the top 150 player rankings. The variables computed included: points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, win shares per 48 minutes, and number ofNBA championships won. The results revealed that points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, and NBA championships were all necessary for an accurate model and win shares per 48 minutes were not significant.
  • Improving Your Youth Basketball Team: Five Simple Skills by Brian Mccormick

    Improving Your Youth Basketball Team: Five Simple Skills by Brian Mccormick

    Improving Your Youth Basketball Team: Five Simple Skills by Brian McCormick As a basketball consultant and personal trainer, I work with numerous youth, high school and college basketball teams and players every year. At every practice, players are deficient in at least one of these five simple skills, ultimately decreasing the team's offensive efficiency. While none will automatically make someone a great basketball player or turn a team into a championship contender, every player must possess these skills so his/her team's offense runs smoothly. These are simple skills which can easily be introduced and reinforced through everyday drills that require little practice time. However, these skills must be emphasized. 1. Left-handed Lay-ups. At an "elite" camp last summer, a high school freshman informed me she did not have to practice using her right hand (she was left-handed) because her coach never put her on the right side of the floor. Every good player possesses the ability to use either right or left hand. I am not an old-school coach (like my father) who believes a player should always use the outside hand on the dribble or a lay-up. However, players must possess the ability to use either hand and must use the correct hand based on the situation. Watching Manu Ginobili and Steve Nash during the play-offs should only serve to reinforce the importance of ambidexterity around the basket. 2. The Box. Youth basketball's biggest detraction is the number of jump balls; while some see jump balls as great defense and hustle, many result from weak offensive play, and the constant barrage of whistles slows the game's tempo.

    From the Triangle to the Cage

    © COPYRIGHT By Curtis Matthew Harris 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED i FROM THE TRIANGLE TO THE CAGE: BASKETBALL’S CONTESTED ORIGINS, 1891 - 1910 BY Curtis Matthew Harris ABSTRACT As the United States increasingly urbanized in the late nineteenth century, white middle- class Americans faced crises of gender, racial, and class status. Fears of young men and women absorbing improper values and behavior from urban life abounded. Countering this dirty and rough landscape, middle-class reformers developed increasingly sophisticated physical education programs that promoted “clean sport” as a way to inoculate themselves from urban ills. Creating the sport of basketball in 1891 was a calculated attempt by these reformers at rescuing society through clean sport. Nonetheless, by 1910, it was apparent that basketball was not the panacea for promoting middle-class conceptions of clean sport and proper living. As basketball spread across the country, rough play, riots, and professionalism undermined the “respectable” intentions middle-class reformers had invested in the game. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I must acknowledge my parents and the proud example they set for me. Through Beatrice Luchin, an ardent educator, and Dennis Harris, a firm advocate of parks and recreation programs, I have learned that my life is to serve and do right by others. To them I am forever indebted. Other persons through the years have helped make me the person and scholar I am. Three of my grade school teachers – Mickey Shannon, Gwendolyn Cash, and Jeff Cherry – deserve special praise for furthering my love of history at a young age. Callie Hawkins, Jamie Cooper, and Erin Carlson-Mast at President Lincoln’s Cottage provided my first opportunity to work as a public historian and have continuously been supportive of academic and professional endeavors.

The County’s Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Master Plan has been updated constantly during that time, but another update is necessary to keep pace with the changing demographics and influx of new citizens who are seeking recreational opportunities. The last Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan that was approved by Granville County government was in 1998, followed by a master plan update that was approved in 2004. The Recreation Advisory Committee voted to approve the last update to the plan in October 2008. That update was then forwarded to the Granville County Board of Commissioners the following month and unanimously approved on November 17, 2008.
