  • Performance Based Learning and Assessment Task How Do I Create a Scaled Model of a Full-Sized Basketball Court? I
    Performance Based Learning and Assessment Task How do I Create a Scaled Model of a Full-Sized Basketball Court? I. ASSESSSMENT TASK OVERVIEW & PURPOSE: Students will apply their knowledge of distances, polygons, circles, and scale factors to accurately build a real life model of a basketball court. II. UNIT AUTHOR: Andrew Blazar, Glen Allen High School, Henrico County, Virginia III. COURSE: Geometry IV. CONTENT STRAND: Geometry G.3 ,Geometry G.11, Geometry G.14 V. OBJECTIVES: Students will use their knowledge of measurement, ratios, circle constructions and properties of circles to: - Measure a full-sized basketball court and record their measurements on a basketball court diagram. - Create a scaled drawing of a model basketball court that is 48” long. - Analyze and answer various questions concerning scale factor, properties of circles, slopes, midpoint, parallel and perpendicular lines, and symmetry. VI. REFERENCE/RESOURCE MATERIALS: Students will use a geometry textbook, tape measure, writing utensils, compass, straight edge measuring tools, calculators, loose leaf paper/printed computer paper, graph paper, scissors, tracing paper, large sheet paper, and the high school gymnasium. VII. PRIMARY ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES: Students will be assessed on how accurate their measurements of the real sized court are. They will be assessed on whether they show necessary work for the calculations, as well as the neatness of their math work, and their final basketball court model. They will be critiqued on how clear and accurately they answer questions, and how well they explain their reasoning in the “Geometrical Analysis” section. VIII. EVALUATION CRITERIA: Self-assessments/ teacher rubrics are used IX. INSTRUCTIONAL TIME: The measurements, conversions, and model drawing should take two 90-minute class periods.

As a crucial component towards basketball video content understanding, tactic recognition is quite challeng- ing because it involves multiple independent players, each of which has respective spatial and temporal variations.

  • Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Who’s Got Next? Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Michael Francis DeLand 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Who’s Got Next? Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court by Michael Francis DeLand Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Jack Katz, Chair This dissertation examines the ongoing formation of a public park as a particular type of public place. Based on four years of in-depth participant observation and historical and archival research I show how a pickup basketball scene has come to thrive at Ocean View Park (OVP) in Santa Monica California. I treat pickup basketball as a case of public place integration which pulls men out of diverse biographical trajectories into regular, intense, and emotional interactions with one another. Many of the men who regularly play at Ocean View Park hold the park in common, if very little else in their lives. Empirical chapters examine the contingencies of the park’s historical formation and the basketball scene’s contemporary continuation. Through comparative historical research I show how Ocean View Park was created as a “hidden gem” within its local urban ecology. Then I show that the intimate character of the park affords a loose network of men the opportunity to sustain regular and informal basketball games. Without the structure of formal organization men arrive at OVP explicitly to build and populate a vibrant gaming context with a diverse array of ii others.

  • Research on Free Throw Shooting Skills in Basketball Games
    [Type text] ISSN : [Type0974 -text] 7435 Volume 10[Type Issue text] 20 2014 BioTechnology An Indian Journal FULL PAPER BTAIJ, 10(20), 2014 [11799-11805] Research on free throw shooting skills in basketball games Xiangkun Yang Department of Physical Education, Jingchu University of Technology, JingMen 448000, (CHINA) ABSTRACT This study makes modeling research on key skills of free throw in basketball games, which are of great significance for enhancing the capacity of free throws. By curvilinear motion model assumptions, three shots models are set up; by model analysis, more accurate idea of free throw shooting is proposed and basketball free throw motion track is studied; by continuously enhancing free throw shooting skills, the accuracy of free throw is improved. KEYWORDS Basketball games; Free throw shooting skills; Modeling. © Trade Science Inc. 11800 Research on free throw shooting skills in basketball games BTAIJ, 10(20) 2014 INTRODUCTION In basketball games, free throw shooting is one of the most basic techniques, and one or two scores made by free throws often can determine the outcome of the game. In America's NBA and in China's CBA games, it is often seen that a team would lose the match just because of one or two scores. The famous Hack-a-Shaq is used against players who are bad at free throws, so you can make the other side get the lowest chance of scoring and make the ball in your possession. It is often seen in the last few minutes of the Professional Basketball League game that the team with lower scores may use Hack-a- Shaq against the player in the other team who are bad at free throws, so the team with lower scores will greatly increase the chance to win.

The NBA is one of the world’s most profitable organizations, raking in billions of dollars annually as a result of the popularity of its teams and their players. In fact, each NBA team enjoys a value of over one billion dollars. The NBA is, at every level, a lucrative business model for the league itself, for the individual teams, for the league’s developmental teams, and for the venues paid to host and manage events. However, there exists a tragic secret inside the NBA: the well-known and serious risk to the league’s young stars suffering Sudden Cardiac Death (“SCD”) during a game.

  • Court Lines & Markings Court Lines Semantics Are a Big Part of The
    Court Lines & Markings Court Lines Semantics are a big part of the game. To eliminate confusion, coaches, players and spectators alike must all communicate using the same basic basketball terminology. Here are the court lines & markings found on a typical basketball court: 1) Side Lines Sidelines The sidelines are the two boundaries lines running the length of the court. Their location is determined by the width of the court, which is normally 50 feet wide. Along with Baseline and End line they establish the size of the playing area. 2) End Lines Baseline/Endline The Baseline/Endline runs from sideline to sideline behind the backboard at the ends of the court. They are located four feet behind the basket, and normally have a width of 50 feet. Baseline and Endline are interchangeable terms depending upon which team has ball position. Baseline is used for the offensive end of the court. Endline is used for the back court or defensive end of the court. 3) Center Court Line/ Mid Court Line The mid court line divides the court in half. Offensively, once the ball crosses the Mid Court Line, it becomes a boundary line reducing the offensive playing area to just half of the court. Also, on most levels, the offensive team only has 8 to 10 seconds to advance the ball across the mid court line. 4) Three Point Line Field Goals made from outside this Three Point Line or arc count as three points. The distance of the three point line from the basket varies according to the different levels of play.
