After the first two quarters it is half time and the 3rd quarter begins with a team starting with the possession of the ball based on the alternate possession rule. Length of the Game (Varsity High School Level) Four 8 minute quarters, with 1 minute between quarters and 10 minutes between halves. Junior varsity play 7 minute quarters. Scoring • Field Goal-worth 2 or 3 points • Free Throw-worth 1 point • The winner of the game is the team with the most points Time-Outs Each team receives three 1 minute time outs and two 30 second time outs per game.

Alternate possession calls occur on held balls, double violations, two violations, two opponents cause the ball to go out of bounds, or the ball lodges in the supports of the basket. Jump Ball • The jump ball is taken in the center circle to start the game. Jumpers face their own baskets, may not tap the ball more than twice, may not tap the ball before it reaches its highest point, and may catch the ball only after it has touched the floor or a non- jumping player. • The jump ball will also be taken on a double violation at the nearest restraining circle.

Like many rookie and veteran coaches, you probably have had little formal instruction on how to coach. But when the call went out for coaches to assist with the local youth basketball program, you answered because you like children and enjoy basketball, and perhaps because you wanted to be involved in a worthwhile community activity. Your initial coaching assignment may be difficult. Like many volunteers, you may not know everything there is to know about basketball or about how to work with children. Coaching Youth Basketball will help you learn the basics of coaching basketball effectively. To start, let's take a look at what's involved in being a coach.

  • Squash Team Finishes As National Runner-Up
    SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS Squash Team Finishes as National Runner-up Although the Yellowjackets came heart- breakingly short of claiming their first squash national championship, the 2015– 16 season was marked by historic mile- stones in arguably the best season ever for the program. At the top of the list was a victory over defending national champion Trinity Col- lege in the semifinals of the College Squash Association’s Potter Cup. That win knocked Trinity out of the ti- tle game for the first time in 19 years and guaranteed that the Yellowjackets would finish above their previous national best of third in 2009. In the championship match against Yale University, the Yellowjackets battled from behind to force a 4–4 tie with only one point left to be decided. In the final set, Tomotaka Endo ’18 lost to Yale’s Kah Wah Cheong, sending the championship to New Haven. The finish was a reversal of an earlier season matchup in which Rochester beat Yale 5–4 at the Lyman Squash and Racquet- ball Center.

    BASKE TBALL AND PHILOSOPHY The Philosophy of Popular Culture The books published in the Philosophy of Popular Culture series will il- luminate and explore philosophical themes and ideas that occur in popu- lar culture. The goal of this series is to demonstrate how philosophical inquiry has been reinvigorated by increased scholarly interest in the inter- section of popular culture and philosophy, as well as to explore through philosophical analysis beloved modes of entertainment, such as movies, TV shows, and music. Philosophical concepts will be made accessible to the general reader through examples in popular culture. This series seeks to publish both established and emerging scholars who will engage a major area of popular culture for philosophical interpretation and exam- ine the philosophical underpinnings of its themes. Eschewing ephemeral trends of philosophical and cultural theory, authors will establish and elaborate on connections between traditional philosophical ideas from important thinkers and the ever-expanding world of popular culture.

  • 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.
