  • Basketball Teams As Strategic Networks
    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.

  • Preparation for Officiating
    Revised 12/05 Mac Chauvin Director of Officials Louisiana High School1 Athletic Association PREPARATION FOR OFFICIATING The first step for an official who desires to work high school games is to become registered with his/her own state high school association. No interschool game should be scheduled until this has been done. Registering assures that the official will receive all needed supplies and full information as to interpretations and policies in the given state. Complete knowledge of the rules is essential. There is no substitute for rules study. The rules should be reviewed well before the opening of the season, and this study should be continued up to the final game. Knowing all phases of the rules at the end of the season is no guarantee that it will carry over to the next season. Discussion of situations in small groups is effective. Writing the comprehensive tests in the material provided by each state association is excellent training in analysis and in the building of confidence. Even the most complicated situations can be separated into basic rule statements to eliminate argument and doubt. Good officiating mechanics and techniques will be promoted by frequent study of this officials manual. Knowing and maintaining correct positions on the court is important in administering the rules. Rules interpretation meetings and officials' clinics sponsored by a state association or by local officials' groups should be attended regularly. Much can also be gained from informal meetings of small groups of officials living in a given area. Rulings for controversial situations which may arise should be requested from the state association office.

  • Position Paper on New NCAA Rules Regarding Rebound/Elasticity Testing of Competition Goals
    Position Paper on New NCAA Rules Regarding Rebound/Elasticity Testing of Competition Goals Beginning in the early 1990s, it was observed within competition basketball circles that there was a significant inconsistency in the playability of basketball rims from facility to facility and even from one end of the court to the other. At that time, effort began to collect data and develop a standard and a method to test to that standard to insure fair and consistent play from court to court. An independent development lab under the guidance of a member of the NCAA rules committee worked for a number of years to develop a tool and a standard that appropriately measures how the ball bounces off the front lip of the basketball ring. This research and development was funded by various entities with Porter Athletics ultimately being the primary funder. Porter currently has exclusive rights to market the only available testing device. Up until approximately the year 2000, both NCAA and National Federation of High School rules required all breakaway rims to be factory preset, non-field adjustable and breakaway only when 230# of force is applied to the front of the ring. This rule had been in place since the earliest days of breakaway rim use in the early 1980s. It failed to consider that 1) 230# was a higher setting than was acceptable to most players and did not protect older glass backboards as intended, 2) over time all breakaway rim designs wear and get loose or soft, 3) there was no rule that stated what happens if the ring did not meet the 230# standard either as new or after use.
