Basketball Rules and Regulations EQUIPMENT AND COURT SPECIFICATIONS Height Size of Size of Distance of Distance of Free Division of Number of Players Ball Court 3-Point Arc Throw Line Basket Size 5 K/1st 8’ Half Court Not applicable 14’ 3 on 3 (27.5”) Size 6 2nd/3rd 9’ Half Court Not applicable 14’ 3 on 3 (28.5”) Size 6 4th/5th 9’ Full Court Not applicable 14’ 5 on 5 (28.5”) Note: 3-on-3 half-court play is also recommended for young players to foster enhanced participation and development. We will play 3-on-3 for our K-2nd ​ division on a half court. RATIONALE Distance of 3-Point Arc: Although the 3-point arc may exist on the floor, all baskets made beyond this arc only count as two points. Therefore, the ​ distance of the line is not applicable for these age segments. Eliminating the 3-point basket at these age segments will encourage players to shoot from within a developmentally-appropriate range. Distance of Free Throw Line: K-5th divisions year-olds should take free throws 14 feet from the basket to develop proper form and increase success. ​ Height of Basket: Utilizing a lower basket height for K-5th divisions allows children to develop proper shooting form and increases the opportunity for ​ shooting success. Scoring: All field goals for K-5th graders are worth two points to encourage children to shoot within a developmentally-appropriate range. This allows for ​ proper mechanics and form. While these age segments may attempt a shot behind the 3-point arc, any field goal made behind the arc will only count as two points. Size of Ball: A smaller basketball for the younger age segments is advised due to the size of a child’s hand as well as their developing skill level. A ​ smaller ball allows for better control and success. Size of Court: For our K/1 & 2/3 Divisions we will be playing half court and 3-on-3. This dimension is more appropriate for younger children based on ​ their relative size in space.

Coaches player-to-player extra period crowding is not Coach's discretion discretion 4th/5th defense allowed in the 4th period throughout the throughout the Leading team may not throughout the and each extra competition competition extend the defense over competition period half court when leading by 25 points or more Definitions: ​ ● Player-to-Player Defense – ● Each player is responsible for guarding and moving with one offensive player. This requires the defensive player to move according to the offensive player’s movements with or without the ball. ● The defensive player must stay on the same side of the court as the offensive player, divided by the rim line. ● If an offensive player with the ball advances past their defensive player, another defender may rotate to guard that offensive player. ● Pressing Defense – Defensive guarding, either on or off the ball, within the backcourt. ● Double-Team/Crowding – Two or more defensive players guarding a single offensive player RATIONALE Double-Team/Crowding: Crowding the ball with multiple players (referred to as “double-teaming”) is not allowed for K-5th Divisions due to skill and ​ size discrepancies among children at these ages. Playing Time: To ensure that all young children participating in the sport have an opportunity to experience the game, equal and fair playing time is ​ recommended for K/1st and 2/3rd Division. For the 4th/5th Division, equal playing time is recommended for periods 1-3, while allowing coach’s discretion in the 4th and extra periods. Equal and fair playing time is encouraged throughout all segments. Pressing Defense: Pressing defense is prohibited for the K/1st and 2nd/3rd Divisions to help children develop principles of movement with and without ​ the ball in a half-court setting. For 4th/5th Division, permitting player-to-player defense to extend full-court in the 4th and extra periods allows players to become accustomed to full-court defense while not having to understand sophisticated zone presses. It also allows for an introduction to competitive tactics. Set Defense: The player-to-player requirement for K-5th Divisions encourages physical activity and movement, and promotes the development of ​ individual skill related to guarding a player both on and off the ball. Stealing from the Dribbler: At the K/1st & 2nd/3rd Division, players are not allowed to steal the ball from an active dribbler. This allows ball-handlers ​ to develop dribbling skills and confidence with the basketball. HIGHLIGHTED GAME PLAY RULES Backcourt Shot Clock Division 5 Seconds Closely Guarded Timeline Clock Stoppage K/1st Not Not applicable Not applicable On any dead ball applicable 2nd/3rd Not applicable Only when the offensive player is holding the 4th/5th 10 seconds On any dead ball basketball RATIONALE Backcourt Timeline: Not having a timeline violation for the K/1st and 2nd/3rd Divisions allows coaches to communicate to players before they reach ​ half court. This assists coaches in teaching children, particularly for those first learning the game. The progression to 10 seconds for the 4th/5th Division, allows the game to flow while developing skills such as ball-handling, passing and decision-making. Clock Stoppage: Fewer clock stoppages for the K-5 Divisions allows for a better game flow. ​ Shot Clock: Not applicable for the K-5th Divisions ​ HIGHLIGHTED GAME PLAY RULES CONTINUED Number of Players Length of Time Advancement of Division Permitted on Free-Throw Substitutions for a Free-Throw Ball after a Timeout Lane Offense may have 2 players on the K/1st lane, including the shooter Either team may substitute 10 seconds Not applicable when the clock is stopped 2nd/3rd Defense may have 2 players on the lane Offense may have 3 players on the lane, including the shooter Either team may substitute 4th/5th 10 seconds Not applicable when the clock is stopped Defense may have 3 players on the lane RATIONALE Advancement of the Ball after a Timeout: For the K/1st & 2nd/3rd Divisions, the focus is on development over strategy. Therefore, there is no ​ ​ ​ pressing defense at this level, and the ball will not automatically advance after a timeout. Similarly, the ball does not advance after a timeout for the 4th/5th Division because the focus remains on development over strategy. .

  • The Value Point System
    THE VALUE POINT SYSTEM This system, which incorporates several key statistics like points, rebounds, assists, and recoveries, is based on a formula that assesses player and team performance with a more well-rounded approach than other common forms of evaluation. With THE VALUE POINT SYSTEM, a playerʼs and/or teamʼs overall performance and make recommendations on where improvement should be made on the systemʼs formula and scale. Along with its many other benefits, THE VALUE POINT SYSTEM also encouraging the aspect of “team play”. Often, players that are excellent one-on-one players are not very good team players; a problem that creates a lot of trouble when trying to develop an effective team strategy. By emphasizing statistics like assists, charges and turnovers, players are trained to focus on working as a team, and therefore boost their abilities and become better basketball players on a better basketball TEAM. THE VALUE POINT SYSTEM Formula and Scale THE VALUE POINT SYSTEM is based upon a carefully calculated formula. The system utilizes the most pertinent player and/or team statistics to provide a more accurate evaluation of the player or teamʼs performance. Statistics Needed to Calculate Value Points When calculating THE VALUE POINTS of your players or team, the following statistics are necessary. Total Points: A player or teamʼs total points, including free throws. Rebounds: A player or teamʼs total rebounds, both offensive and defensive. Assists: A player or teamʼs total number of passes that directly led to a basket. Steals: The total number of times a player or team takes the ball from an opposing team.

  • The Unseen Play the Game to Win 03/22/2017
    The Unseen Play the Game to Win 03/22/2017 Play the Game to Win What Rick Barry and the Atlanta Falcons can teach us about risk management “Something about the crowd transforms the way you think” – Malcolm Gladwell - Revisionist History With 4:45 remaining in Super Bowl LI, Matt Ryan, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback, threw a pass to Julio Jones who made an amazing catch. The play did not stand out because of the way the ball was thrown or the agility that Jones employed to make the catch, but due to the fact that the catch eas- ily put the Falcons in field goal range very late in the game. That reception should have been the play of the game, but it was not. Instead, Tom Brady walked off the field with the MVP trophy and the Patriots celebrated yet another Super Bowl victory. NBA basketball hall of famer Rick Barry shot close to 90% from the free throw line. What made him memorable was not just his free throw percentage or his hard fought play, but the way he shot the ball underhanded, “granny-style”, when taking free throws. Every basketball player, coach and fan clearly understands that the goal of a basketball game is to score the most points and win. Rick Bar- ry, however, was one of the very few that understood it does not matter how you win but most im- portantly if you win. The Atlanta Falcons crucial mistake and Rick Barry’s “granny” shooting style offer stark illustrations about how human beings guard their egos and at times do imprudent things in order to be viewed favorably by their peers and the public.

    DISCUSSION GUIDE Based on the novel by E.B. Vickers PRE-READING QUESTIONS: 1. Under what circumstances should a person reveal someone else’s secret? Under what circumstances should a person keep another’s secret? 2. There are times when we make assumptions about someone’s life. What assumptions might people make about you? What things might they get wrong? Are assumptions helpful? Why do we make them? 3. What comes to mind when you hear the word addiction? If you don’t know about addiction through people you know personally, where have you gathered ideas of what addiction looks like? READING ACTIVITIES: • Have students read Stephanie Ericsson’s “The Ways We Lie,” summarizing each of the ten kinds of lies she outlines. As students are reading Fadeaway, have them note an example of characters telling each kind of lie, and why they think the character told that kind of lie. (See chart at the end of this guide.) • When Kolt starts telling his part of the story, he says he and Jake “were from the same part of town – the wrong part” (7). What might he have meant by this? Based on what you have read so far, what do you think the wrong part of this town is? What kinds of assumptions do people make upon hearing a statement like this? • At the start of the book, there are several characters who give statements to the police. Re-read Kolt’s (5), Daphne’s (16), Luke’s (52), Sabrina’s (70) and then Kolt’s second statement (84).

  • 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.

  • Do Basketball Scoring Patterns Reflect Illegal Point Shaving Or
    Do Basketball Scoring Patterns Reflect Illegal Point Shaving or Optimal In-Game Adjustments?∗ Jesse Gregory University of Wisconsin, NBER [email protected] Current Version: August, 2017 Abstract This paper develops and estimates a model of college basketball teams’ search for scoring opportunities, to provide a benchmark of the winning margin distributions that should arise if teams’ only goal is to win. I estimate the model’s structural parameters using first-half play- by-play data from college games and simulate the estimated model’s predicted winning margin distributions. Teams’ optimal state-dependent strategies generate patterns that match those previously cited as evidence of point shaving. The results suggest that corruption in NCAA basketball is less prevalent than previously suggested and that indirect forensic economics methodology can be sensitive to seemingly innocuous institutional features. JEL Codes: C61, L83 K42 ∗I am grateful to John Bound, Charlie Brown, Morris Davis, Robert Gillezeau, Sam Gregory, Dmitry Lubensky, Brian McCall, Mike McWilliams, Todd Pugatch, Colin Raymond, Lones Smith, Chris Taber, Justin Wolfers, and Eric Zitzewitz for helpful comments. All remaining errors are my own. Measuring corruption is inherently difficult because law-breakers cover their tracks. For that reason, empirical studies in forensic economics typically develop indirect tests for the presence of corruption. These tests look for behavior that is a rational response to incentives that only those who engage in the particular corrupt behavior face. The validity of these indirect tests depends crit- ically on the assumption that similar patterns do not occur if agents only respond to the incentives generated by the institutions that govern non-corrupt behavior.

    Statistician ___________________________________________________Period __________ AP Statistics Semester 1 Review 1. You can choose to play one of two games. Each game costs one dollar to play. Which one would you play? Game 1: A wheel with three numbers on it--zero, one, and two--is spun so that there is a 40% chance that the wheel lands on zero, a 10% chance the wheel lands on one, and a 50% chance the wheel lands on two. You get back the amount in dollars of the number that the wheel lands on. Game 2: A different wheel with three numbers on it--zero, one, and two--is spun so that there is a 5% chance that the wheel lands on zero, a 80% chance the wheel lands on one, and a 15%chance the wheel lands on two. You get back the amount in dollars of the number that the wheel lands on. 2. Shaquille O'Neal is one of the best players on the professional basketball team the Los Angeles Lakers. Shaq, as he is nicknamed, stands 7' 1" tall and weighs 330 pounds. Most of the shots he takes are close to the basket, and because he is so big other players have a hard time stopping him from making baskets. In fact, he makes 57.2% of his shots, which is impressive given that most players make about 45%. In basketball, when a player trying to make a shot is hit on the body by someone on the opposing team, thereby causing the player to miss the shot, the player gets to take two free shots from 15 feet away from the basket.
