2016 Senior Games / Basketball Skills and Drills 2016 Senior Games / Basketball Skills and Drills Saturday, February 6, 2016 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM Evelyn Mount Northeast Community Center 1301 Valley Rd., Reno, NV 89512 Host – Lynda Wiest / [email protected] Basketball Skills – in all skills categories, men will compete with men and women will compete with women. Men will use regulation basketballs; women will use 28.5” or women’s regulation basketballs. Competitors will also be broken into age groups. Age groups will be determined by number of competitors but the goal is to have 5 year increments, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, etc. All players are encouraged to compete in all skills categories but that is not a requirement. An overall winner (men & women) will be the competitor with the highest number of points. Shooting Skills Each player will be required to shoot from four positions: Men’s Distances – men will shoot layup (3’), 10’, 15’ and behind the three point line. Men will shoot 2 layups, 2 – 10’ shots, 2 – 15’ shots and 1 three point shot. Men will then have 3 “open” shots that they can shoot from any distance they choose. Men will make a total of 10 shots. Men’s Scoring – layup = 1 point, 10’ = 2 points, 15’ = 3 points, three point = 4 points. Players score is the total points for all shots. Women’s distances – women will shoot layup (3’), 5’, 10’, 15’. Women will shoot 2 layups, 2 – 5’ shots, 2’ – 10’ shots and 1 – 15’ shot. Women will then have 3 “open” shots that they can shoot from any distance they choose. Women will make a total of 10 shots. Women’s Scoring – layup = 1 point, 5’ = 2 points, 10’ = 3 points, 15’ = 4 points. Players score is the total points for all shots. Ties (men & women) – in the event of a tie, players will alternate shooting starting at the layup and continuing until a player misses. If all four shots are made, shooting will start over at the layup position. Shooting will continue until a winner is determined. Gold, Silver & Bronze Medals will be given in each age group. Dribbling Skills Each player will be required to dribble the ball from the baseline to the half court line and back to the baseline. From the baseline to half court, the player will need to weave through obstacles – all obstacles must be navigated for a time to count; from half court back to the baseline is a straight shot. Scoring will be based on time. Each player will be allowed two attempts and the best time of the two will be their score. Ties will be broken by using the total of both attempts. Gold, Silver & Bronze Medals will be given in each age group. Passing Skills Each player will be required to “pass” the ball to a person standing behind a 3’ wide opening. Players will be required to make 3 passes from three locations for a total of 9 passes. Distances will be 5’, 10’, 15’. Passes may be chest to chest or bounce passes. Two hands must be used to make each pass – no baseball throws. The pass may touch the markers but must pass must go completely through the opening. Players will receive 1 point for each pass that goes through the 3’ opening (ball does not have to be caught by the person catching the pass). Ties will be broken by comparing successful passes starting from 15’ and moving closer. If a tie still exists, players will alternate passing from 20’ until a winner is determined. Gold, Silver & Bronze Medals will be given in each age group. Overall Winner Overall winners will be awarded for both men and women – age will not be a consideration. The overall winner will be the player with the highest total points when all the scores from the categories are added together. Points for dribbling will be awarded as follows: if there are 10 men in the dribbling skills category, the winner will receive 10 points, second place – 9 points, third place – 8 points, etc. The tenth player would receive 1 point. Only points earned in the basic part of the skills category will count. Points earned in tie breakers will not be considered. Gold, Silver and Bronze will be awarded to both men and women. Ties will be broken as follows: player with the highest shooting skills points, then player with the highest dribbling skills points, then player with the highest passing skills points. If a tie still exists, players will shoot off until a winner is determined (men from the 15’ free throw line – women from the 10’ center line). .

  • 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
    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.

  • AP Statistics Semester 1 Review 1. You
    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.
