2019-20 Preseason NAIA Men's Basketball Guide Men’s Preseason Basketball Guide 2019-20 Shot Clock Reset, Technical Foul Administration Among Rule Changes he 2019-20 NAIA season is upon us Tand your preseason preparations are certainly picking up. To set the stage on the new season, three new rule changes are highlighted. One is related to the shot clock and two are related to technical fouls. Shot clock reset (2-11.6) One of the most signifi cant rule changes centers on the reset of the shot clock when the offensive team maintains possession in the frontcourt. The shot clock will be reset to 20 seconds after an offensive team rebound that does not go into the backcourt before team control is gained by the offensive team. The rationale behind the rule change is to continue to enhance the pace of play and improve the fl ow of the game.

Following one team warning, players who fl op/fake being fouled will be assessed a Class B technical foul. The re- written rule clarifi es the need to penalize infractions after one team warning. Offi cials should use the newly approved fl opping signal to indicate the reason for the warning (on a fi rst offense) or technical foul (on all subsequent offenses). The signal may be used at the scene or at the scorer’s table. As with all Class B technical fouls, one free throw will be awarded to any member of the offended team. All infractions could toward ejection but do not count toward the team-foul total or disqualifi cation.

  • Comprehension Builders Research Reveals That the Single Most Valuable Activity for Developing Students’ Com- Prehension Is Reading Itself
    Daily Comprehension Builders Research reveals that the single most valuable activity for developing students’ com- prehension is reading itself. At its core, comprehension is an active process in which students think about text and gain meaning from it. In order for them to build compe- tence in comprehension, their reading should be purposeful and reflective. It should foster the exploration of genre, language, and information. Daily Comprehension Build- ers is a resource that provides the instructional framework to help your students build strength in comprehension and achieve success in reading! Comprehension Basics Comprehension begins with what a student knows about a topic. It builds as a child reads and actively makes connections between new information and prior knowledge. Understanding is increased as the student organizes what he has read in relationship to what he already knows. To successfully comprehend, students need to master a variety of critical skills, such as constructing word meanings from context, determin- ing main ideas and locating details to support them, sequencing, inferring and drawing conclusions, making generalizations, predicting, summarizing, and sensing an author’s purpose. Daily Comprehension Builders provides multiple opportunities for reinforcing these essential skills, resulting in increased learning and competence in reading. About This Book Thirty-six high-interest reading selections, each accompanied by five activities and two to three reproducible skill sheets, are featured in this book. (See the unit features detailed below.) Each unit is clearly organized and highlights one of the following topics or genres: sports, famous people, animals, oddities, real-life mysteries, and adventure. Use each unit in its entirety, or pick and choose activities to build specific skills.

  • Does Relative Age Affect Career Length in North American Professional Sports? C
    Steingröver et al. Sports Medicine - Open (2016) 2:18 DOI 10.1186/s40798-016-0042-3 ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Does Relative Age Affect Career Length in North American Professional Sports? C. Steingröver1*, N. Wattie2, J. Baker3 and J. Schorer1 Abstract Background: Relative age effects (RAEs) typically favour older members within a cohort; however, research suggests that younger players may experience some long-term advantages, such as longer career length. The purposes of this study were to replicate previous findings on RAEs among National Hockey League (NHL) ice hockey players, National Basketball Association (NBA) basketball players and National Football League (NFL) football players and to investigate the influence of relative age on career length in all three sports. Methods: Using official archives, birthdates and number of games played were collected for players drafted into the NBA (N =407),NFL(N = 2380) and NHL (N = 1028) from 1980 to 1989. We investigated the possibility that younger players might be able to maximize their career length by operationalizing career length as players’ number of games played throughout their careers. Results: There was a clear RAE for the NHL, but effects were not significant for the NBA or NFL. Moreover, there was a significant difference in matches played between birth quartiles in the NHL favouring relatively younger players. There were no significant quartiles by career length effects in the NBA or NFL. Conclusions: The significant relationship between relative age and career length provides further support for relative age as an important constraint on expertise development in ice hockey but not basketball or football.
