Basketball Study Guide BASKETBALL STUDY GUIDE 1. offense - when you or your team has the ball and are trying to score. 2. offensive stance - a basic position one should assume when first receiving the ball within shooting distance of the basket: from this position one can: (1) shoot (2) pass or (3) dribble. 3. dribble - when you bounce the ball off the floor one or more times to maintain possession or to move from one spot on the floor to another. 4. double-dribble - a violation that occurs when one dribbles, stops, then dribbles again: also called if one dribbles with both hands on the ball at the same time. 5. traveling - a violation that occurs when one moves both feet while holding the ball after having taken the allotted two-step stop. 6. pivot foot - the foot you keep planted to avoid traveling with the ball. 7. free throw - a shot from the free throw line (foul line) awarded as a result of a foul; worth one point. 8. field goal - any made shot from any spot on the floor except for an awarded free throw. Worth 2 points, shots from behind the 3 point semicircle are worth 3 points. 9. foul - violations of the rules that deal with physical play and sportsmanship. a. personal foul - a foul called against a player for common physical violations. Includes blocking, reaching, charging, and over the back. Each player is allowed five fouls before being removed from the game. b. offensive foul - a foul called against you if youʼre in possession of the ball (charging); no shots are awarded for an offensive foul. c. technical foul - a foul called against you for fighting or arguing; can be called against a player in the game, a substitute on the bench, or even the coach. d. team fouls - by adding together all the fouls of all the players on a team one can determine the number of team fouls. After a team has 7 team fouls the opponents will begin to shoot free throws, one plus one, for any foul that is not a “shooting” foul. At 10 team fouls they will shoot 2 shots. **(If youʼre fouled in the act of shooting, at any point in the game, youʼll get to shoot 1, 2, or 3 free throws regardless of how many team fouls there are)** e. one plus one - if you make your first shot, you receive a bonus shot (not for “shooting” fouls). f. one free throw - awarded if you were in the act of shooting and made the shot (a “shooting” foul). g. two or three free throws - awarded if you were in the act of shooting but missed the shot. You get 2 free throws if you were attempting a 2 point shot, 3 for a 3 point shot attempt. 10. free throw lane - during foul shots one cannot enter the free throw lane until the ball has made contact with the basket. During game play, the offensive team may not remain in the lane for longer than 3 seconds at a time. 11. defense - when the other team has the ball and youʼre trying to keep them from scoring. a. man-to-man - when you guard a specific person on the other team. b. zone - when youʼre assigned an area of the court to guard instead of a specific person 12. jump ball - used to start the game. The referee tosses the ball up between two players who attempt to tap it to their teammates. 13. back court - the half of the court thatʼs opposite the basket where your team is trying to score. 14. front court - the half of the court where your team is trying to score. 15. back court violation - once you take the ball from the back court area into the front court you cannot pass it or dribble it back over the center line into the back court area. If you do, and a player from your team touches it first, then itʼs a violation and your team loses the ball..

Construct and interpret two-way frequency tables of data when two categories are associated S-CP.4 with each object being classified. Use the two-way table as a sample space to decide if events are independent and to approximate conditional probabilities. Calculate the expected value of a random variable; interpret it as the mean of the probability S-MD.2 distribution. Develop a probability distribution for a random variable defined for a sample space in which S-MD.4 probabilities are assigned empirically; find the expected value. Weigh the possible outcomes of a decision by assigning probabilities to payoff values and finding S-MD.5 expected values. S-MD.5a Find the expected payoff for a game of chance. S-MD.5b Evaluate and compare strategies on the basis of expected values. Use probabilities to make fair decisions (e.g., drawing by lots, using a random number S-MD.6 generator). Analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts (e.g., product testing, medical S-MD.7 testing, pulling a hockey goalie at the end of a game).

  • Analysis of Different Types of Turnovers Between Winning and Losing Performances in Men’S NCAA Basketball
    한국컴퓨터정보학회논문지 Journal of The Korea Society of Computer and Information Vol. 25 No. 7, pp. 135-142, July 2020 JKSCI https://doi.org/10.9708/jksci.2020.25.07.135 Analysis of different types of turnovers between winning and losing performances in men’s NCAA basketball 1)Doryung Han*, Mark Hawkins**, HyongJun Choi*** *Honorary principal professor, Major of Security secretary Studies Continuing Education Center, Kyonggi University, Seoul, Korea **Head coach, Performance Analysis of Sport, University of Wales, UK ***Associate Professor, Dept. of Physical Education (Performance Analysis in Sport), Dankook University, Yongin, Korea [Abstract] Basketball is a highly complex sport, analyses offensive and defensive rebounds, free throw percentages, minutes played and an efficiency rating. These statistics can have a large bearing and provide a lot of pressure on players as their every move can be analysed. Performance analysis in sport is a vital way of being able to track a team or individuals performance and more commonly used resource for player and team development. Discovering information such as this proves the importance of these types of analysis as with post competition video analysis a coach can reach a far more accurate analysis of the game leading to the ability to coach and correct the exact requirements of the team instead of their perceptions. A significant difference was found between winning and losing performances for different types of turnovers supporting current research that states that turnovers are not a valid predictor of match outcomes and that there is no specific type of turnover which can predict the outcome of a match as briefly mentioned in Curz and Tavares (1998).

  • The 25 Most Misunderstood Rules in High School Basketball
    THE 25 MOST 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 who is not a dribbler in control can keep (tap) a ball inbounds, go out of bounds, and return inbounds and play the ball. 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 may 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! 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 dribbler’s hand. 8. A “kicked” ball must be ruled intentional to be ruled a violation. 9. It is legal for a player to rebound/catch his/her own air ball, provided the official deems the shot a legitimate try. 10. It is a jump ball (AP Arrow) when the ball lodges on or in the basket support. If it happens during a throw‐in or free throw, violation.

  • Opinions Vary on Fouling Late in Games
    NEWSLETTER #15 - 2005-06 TO FOUL OR NOT TO FOUL "Team A is up 3 with 15 seconds remaining. Team B has the ball. Both teams in bonus. If you are team A do you foul, and send them to the line?" The question to foul or not to foul at the end of the game has been posed several times this year. Most recently, a head varsity coach from Strasburg, Illinois posed the question after he was taken to OT in 3 of his last 4 games on late shots. Xavier has also had bad luck in the same situation over the past 2 years. Most unforgetable was last year at the University of Miami (FL). Miami in bounded the ball with 13.8 left on the clock. With 8 seconds to go, Robert Hite hit a 3 with to tie the game and send it to overtime. Fortinuatly for us, we outscored the Canes 18-5 in OT and escaped Florida with a big win. Recently, Jay Bilas from ESPN.com did a great piece on this endless dilema on his online blog. Opinions vary on fouling late in games http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/insider/columns/story?columnist=bilas_jay&id=2324605&univLogin02=stateChanged The strategy of fouling in late-game situations, when one team is ahead by three points and its opponent has the ball with a chance to tie, has long been debated. Some say, without reservation, that it is a no-brainer to foul when up three points … but many are not as certain as to when the "cut line" is on the clock.

  • Intentional Personal Fouls
    INTENTIONAL PERSONAL FOULS A personal foul is judged ‘intentional’ when, in the judgment of an official, it is ‘designed or premeditated ‘. Simply stated, if the player intended to foul then the foul is intentional. This would all become very easy if lie detectors were allowed at the scorer’s table. They would certainly eliminate the “I didn’t mean to foul’ reaction that 90% of the intentional fouls calls draw. At the same time, we would guess that 50% of ‘normal fouling activity’ would become intentional fouls if the truth were really known. In any case, there are no polygraphs at courtside, so the determination of ‘intent’ is left to the discretion of the official although some ‘cut and dried’ situations still exist. Consider the following guidelines when judging intentional fouls. 1. An intentional foul does not necessarily involve maiming or decapitation. The severity of the contact has nothing to do with it. A light tug on the jersey wouldn’t leave ‘scratch’ marks, but would still be an intentional foul provided the object were to delay movement to a defensive or offensive position or to prompt retaliation. 2. Certain situations tend to encourage players to foul intentionally. Officials should review these situations in clinics and early games and take special time to educate themselves. Situations include fouling to prevent a ‘sure basket’ on a breakaway or fouls designed to end team control by creating a throw‐in situation. Such fouls may be perceived as the only method to prevent a goal being scored or to end ‘stall’ tactics. In instances of doubt, the rule of thumb is to give the benefit of the doubt to players who seemed to have been playing the ball.

  • Basketball Statistics Manual
    Basketball Statistics Manual FIBA Europe Statistics Manual Field Goals A field goal attempt (FGA) is charged to a player any time they shoot, throw or tap a live ball at their opponent’s basket in an attempt to score a goal unless the player is fouled in the act of shooting and the goal is missed or not counted. When a violation or foul is committed by the shooter or a player from either team, after the ball has been released for a shot, a FGA is credited because the shot would count if successful. A field goal attempt (FGA) is not charged to the shooter if the shot is nullified because of illegal interference with the ball (goal tending) by an offensive player. In this case the offensive player who commits the violation is charged with a turnover and a team rebound charged to the defensive team. A field goal made (FGM) is credited to a player any time a FGA by them results in a goal being scored or being awarded because of illegal interference with the ball (goal tending) by a defensive player. When a player is fouled in the act of shooting and the shot results in a FGM, then a FGA must also be credited. A FGA is not charged if the player shooting the ball, a teammate or a defensive player commits a violation or foul just prior to the ball being released. The official will call the violation or foul and signal that the score or play following the call is canceled. This indicates that the ball was not released for the shot prior to the infringement so no FGA is awarded.

  • 7 Basketball Rules Myths
    7 Basketball Rules Myths There are certain calls made in a basketball game that are accepted as reality when in fact they aren’t at all. The truth is, some of the most common truths about the rules of basketball actually aren’t true at all. Need proof? No problem. There are many myths about basketball rules. We will cover 7 but you can also find them in the Muni Resources on the webpage for future review and reference. They’ll make you think twice about what you thought you knew. MYTH #1 A defensive player must be stationary to take a charge. Really? Once a defensive player has obtained a legal guarding position, the defensive player may always move to maintain that guarding position and may even have one or both feet off the floor when contact occurs with the offensive player. Legal guarding position occurs when the defensive player has both feet on the floor and is facing the opponent. This applies to a defensive player who is defending the dribble. MYTH #2 A dribble that bounces above the dribbler’s head is an illegal dribble violation. Really? There is no restriction as to how high a player may bounce the ball, provided the ball does not come to rest in the player’s hand. MYTH #3 “Reaching in” is a foul. Really? Reaching in is not a foul! The term is nowhere to be found in any rulebook. Why? There must be contact to have a foul! The mere act of “reaching in” by itself is nothing.
