First of All, It Felt Really Good to Be Back at Home After a Nine-Day Layoff. You Just Never Know How the Team Is Going to Come out and Respond Mississippi State Women’s Basketball Quotes December 14, 2020 Troy Head Coach Nikki McCray-Penson “First of all, it felt really good to be back at home after a nine-day layoff. You just never know how the team is going to come out and respond. I thought this team had a really good shoot around. We talked about getting ready to go from the jump because we didn’t play the way we needed to play in our last game. It left a sour taste in our mouth when it came to our rebounding, free throws and turnovers. When I look at the stats tonight, one thing that really stands out is 29 assists on 41 made shots. We shot the ball extremely well. We had 41 rebounds, but we shot it well and didn’t miss a whole lot of shots. There’s still areas we have to get better at. We have to get better at free throws. Three for 10 is not going to win us games shooting it like that. We really concentrated a lot on our free throws. We gave up 20 offensive rebounds. Last year, this team gave up 27. We only gave up eight in the second half, but they shoot the ball a lot. It’s running rebounds that we have to continue to get under control. You have to rebound. Also, transition defense. I thought that because we had different combinations playing, transition defense got away from us. They scored 27 points off fast break points. We can’t let that happen. Overall, a good bounce back game. We know that we still have room to grow. We will continue to get better.” Q: Are you at a point where you’re confident in your teams’ shooting ability? Specifically, three pointers. NMP: “I think there’s certain people on the team who know that’s a strength of theirs. I think there’s people on our team who if they don’t take those shots, then people are going to sag off of them and disrespect them. At the end of the day, it’s a good shot as long as it’s in rhythm, make or miss. That gets us in a position to rebound it, but then you have to self-check yourself and know you have to get in the gym and fix it or do something different. That doesn’t mean you have to take the shot, but you can do something different. I’ve had a player that was not a three-point shooter, and people disrespected her, but she still was able to score and get to the paint. If you’re open, you’re open for a reason. It doesn’t mean you have to take it, but you have to shoot it with confidence. I want every player on our team to shoot the ball with confidence. What I said to them at halftime was when we miss one, two or three in a row, then we have to do something different.” Q: When Sidney was shooting as well as she did tonight, what does that do for the offense? NMP: “Again, I think she had a great shoot around. She did second guess herself a couple of times. I had to tell her ‘what are you doing because when you’re on, you’re on.’ For her, she has to be ready to shoot open shots. She’s probably one player that can consistently make contested threes. She has a pretty shot and pretty rhythm. When she’s in rhythm, I’m pretty confident that it’s going to go in and our team is confident that it’s going to go in. It puts us in a position to rebound. I don’t want her second guessing herself. I want her to continue to take good shots all the time. When we miss a couple, then that’s when we should get the ball inside to Jessika Carter or Yemiyah Morris and do something different. Tonight was her night. I’m glad we were able to feed her. She was hitting shots.” #10 Sidney Cooks Q: You came out and looked confident those first few possessions. You had eight of the first 10 points. Big night tonight, career high in points, how are you feeling? SC: “I’m super happy for the team and for myself. I think I had a really good day in practice yesterday with just focusing on my shot and focusing on my form, seeing the ball go through every time and what to do to make that ball go through the hoop. I think it just transferred over to the court today.” Q: What does a night like tonight mean to you after a tough two years off the court and with everything that’s happened? SC: “It’s good to be back. It’s good to gain that confidence and know that just because my journey was a little bit different that I can make it happen here. I’m just really blessed to be here and have this opportunity to be healthy and playing. So, I’m just grateful for that right now.” Q: How big is a game like this for you to see the ball go through and get your form down? Do you think this is something you can replicate going forward and continue with some consistency? SC: “Absolutely. I think, honestly, I can do even better. The ball went through the hoop, but I have to elevate on the defensive end and rebounding. I know that’s going to be my focus because I feel like a lot of people know that offensively I can bring it, but I want to elevate in other areas.” #5 Rickea Jackson Q: Were three pointers a point of emphasis against Troy tonight? RJ: “Well, with the way that we were shooting in practice this week, you could tell we were going to have a good game from the three point line. Troy was sagging off of us, so we did not try to force anything inside. We just tried to play our game and not force anything.” Q: How do you think you guys did tonight from a defensive and offensive rebounding standpoint? RJ: “I feel like we did pretty good. Obviously, we could do better. Troy still had 20 offensive rebounds on us. I feel like the second half especially we contained them on the boards. I feel like if we would have done that in the first half, then they would not have gotten as many as they did. I feel like we are still working at getting better from the rebounding aspect.” Q: What does it do for the offense when Sidney Cooks is shooting the way that she did tonight? RJ: “It definitely opens up everything. We definitely have confidence in Sidney when it comes to three pointers and making plays. It definitely opens up the floor. We know if the defense is coming down on her, then there is a whole gap out there. It definitely helps on the offensive end.” .

  • Proper Inflation of a Basketball by Josephine Corcoran and Ralph Rackstraw Revised by Alan Stockton for Astronomy 110 Abstract T
    Proper Inflation of a Basketball by Josephine Corcoran and Ralph Rackstraw Revised by Alan Stockton for Astronomy 110 Abstract This paper describes an experiment to determine how to correctly inflate a basketball using a hand pump. A basketball is correctly inflated when it rebounds to approximately 60% of the height from which it is dropped. In this experiment, the basketball's rebound height is measured as a function of the number of strokes of the pump used to inflate it. We find that for the pump used in this experiment, 12 strokes gives the correct pressure in the basketball. We discuss the effects that the air temperature and the material from which the ball is made have on the accuracy of our results. Introduction Basketball is a game that relies on the skill of dribblingthat is, walking or running while bouncing the basketball on the floor. To play the game most effectively, players need to be able to rely on the rebounding of the ball off the floor as they move with it around the court. The "springiness" of the ball also affects shots that rebound off the backboard. The amount that the ball rebounds depends on how much air is used to inflate it. A ball with too little air is flat and difficult to dribble. A ball with too much air is too lively and more difficult to control when dribbling and shooting. Inflating a basketball with the correct amount of air is important to being able to play the game well. According to international basketball rules, a basketball is properly inflated "such that when it is dropped onto the playing surface from a height of about 1.80 m measured from the bottom of the ball, it will rebound to a height, measured to the top of the ball, of not less than about 1.2 m nor more than about 1.4 m” (Fédération Internationale de Basketball 1998).

This research was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of offensive plays following an offensive rebound, both from winners and losers. The secondary aim was to compare and analyze factors that could have an impact on the effectiveness of offensive plays following an OR. The sample size consisted of 28 basketball games from the World Basketball Cup, which was held in China (2019). For statistical analysis of the variables, we used frequency analysis, crosstabulation analysis with χ2 (Chi-square) test (significance level set at p<0.05), adJusted standardized residual and CHAID decision trees. The results indicated that each team was awarded ~10.3 ORs per game, and more than 7 out of 10 ORs were recovered in the paint. Furthermore, teams thatultimately lost the game executed more offensive plays during the first 5 s after their OR than teams that won the game (p=0.035).

  • 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.

  • Basketball Knockout RULES
    Basketball knockout RULES: ● The game begins with all players lined up in a straight line starting at the free throw line and extending towards half court (see diagram #1). The first two players start with a basketball. ● Player one shoots a free throw and tries to make it. If the player misses, he/she must grab the rebound and score as fast as possible. Player one’s second shot does not need to be from the free throw line. He/she can shoot a jump shot, lay-up or whatever is needed in order to score fastest. ● Player two cannot shoot until after player one has shot their first free throw. The goal for player two is to score a basket before player one does. If player two misses their free throw he/she must also rebound their miss and make a shot as quickly as possible. ● If player one makes a basket first, he/she goes to the back of the line (see diagram #2). If player one fails to make a basket before player two, player one is eliminated (all eliminated players stand off to the side until the game is finished). ● Once player one makes a basket he/she passes the ball to the next player in line. That player tries to make a basket before player two does. If this occurs, player two is out. If player two scores first, he/she goes to the end of the line and passes their ball to the fourth player in line (see diagram #3). ● The game continues like this until only one player is left standing.
