Robert H. Schuller 130 Winning Special Situations INTRODUCTION Introduction There are many factors that affect the outcome of a basketball game. Just a few of them are: 1) Talent on your team 2) Talent of your opponents relative to yours 3) Location (home or road) of the game Winning Words 4) Injuries prior to or during games “Luck is where 5) Toughness and togetherness of team preparation 6) Preparation meets 7) Execution ” opportunity. The focus for this e-book is on the toughness, togetherness, preparation, and execution it takes to Seneca help your team to thrive and capitalize when special situations occur in games. Take these ideas, think through them with your coaching staff, and adapt them to your program’s philosophy and your personnel. On most occasions, your games are going to come down to a few critical possessions. Many of those possessions involve special situations—an inbounds play, a last shot of the quarter, or the way your team manages the clock. The special situations in this book are not limited to the end of the game and they are not limited to the decisions that coaches make during games.

  • Drill Begins with 4 Players Aligned in the Box of the Lane, a Post at Each Block and a Guard at Each Elbow
    Drill begins with 4 players aligned in the box of the lane, a post at each block and a guard at each elbow. A coach throws the ball off of the glass, the player on the right block (4) jumps to grap the rebound at its highest point and turns over his outside shoulder to throw an outlet ot the right elbow guard (1) who has sprinted to outside the three point line. At the same time, the guard on the left elbow (2) is making a sharp diagonal cut to the middle of the floor to receive a pass. This guard dribbles to half court and turns around. 1 makes a V cut and comes back to the wing to receive a pass from 2. 1 catches and enters the ball into the post (4), who turns and throws it off the glass, over to the other big (5). 5 will be turning over his shoulder to throw to a new guard stepping on (guard lines are placed on the sideline at foul line extended). While 1 now will be playing the role that 2 played, flashing to the middle on diagonal cut. Divide the team into three teams (A,B , and C) and have them line up as shown. The first player in line steps up and A has the ball. ‘A’ shoots a three. The ball is “live”, regardless of whether or not the shot is missed or made. (On a make the three doesn’t count). The game then becomes 1 on 1 on 1. With the player who grabbed the rebound being the one on offense.

  • Referee.Com Basketball Case Play of the Day Day 51
    Referee.com Basketball Case Play of the Day Day 51- Disqualified Player PLAY A1 is called for a common foul, and it is A5’s fifth personal foul. A1 properly leaves the game after receiving this fifth and disqualifying foul. Later in the game, A1 reports to the table to check back into the game. Neither the official scorer nor the officials recognize that A1 had previously been disqualified, and they allow A1 to re-enter the game. After a few minutes have run off the game clock and (a) after A1 had checked back out of the game, or (b) while A1 is still in the game, the scorer notifies the officials that A1 had been disqualified, but participated again in the game. What is the result? RULING Participating after being disqualified results in a technical foul. The technical foul is only penalized if it is discovered while being violated. Therefore, in (a), since A1 was no longer in the game, no technical foul shall be assessed. In (b), a technical foul shall be charged directly to team A’s head coach, A1 shall be removed from the game, team B shall receive two free throws and a division line throw in (10-6-3, 10.6.3). Day 50- Colors of Team Apparel PLAY Team A is wearing blue jerseys with gold trim. During pregame warmups, the officials notice A1 is wearing a black undershirt, blue wristbands and gold tights. Are those colors legal? RULING The color of the undershirt must be a single color similar to the torso of the game jersey, and thus a black undershirt is not legal.

Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Michael Francis DeLand 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Who’s Got Next? Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court by Michael Francis DeLand Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Jack Katz, Chair This dissertation examines the ongoing formation of a public park as a particular type of public place. Based on four years of in-depth participant observation and historical and archival research I show how a pickup basketball scene has come to thrive at Ocean View Park (OVP) in Santa Monica California. I treat pickup basketball as a case of public place integration which pulls men out of diverse biographical trajectories into regular, intense, and emotional interactions with one another. Many of the men who regularly play at Ocean View Park hold the park in common, if very little else in their lives. Empirical chapters examine the contingencies of the park’s historical formation and the basketball scene’s contemporary continuation. Through comparative historical research I show how Ocean View Park was created as a “hidden gem” within its local urban ecology.

THE HOT HAND PHENOMENON IN BASKETBALL REVISITED A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Economics by Alexander T. Dahlstrom August 2018 Accepted by: Dr. Raymond Sauer, Committee Chair Dr. Scott Templeton Dr. Robert Fleck ABSTRACT The focus of this paper is to summarize the economic literature of the hot hand phenomenon in basketball while adding in another study of my own. By using recent NBA statistical data, I will show the advancement and evolution of this widely held public belief that a certain number of makes or misses can alter the chances of the next attempt’s success or failure. I start by recreating part of Gilovich, Valone, and Tversky’s (1985) experiments with a larger set of data and finish by introducing Miller and Sanjurjo’s fix to their method’s biases(2015). The major finding is when a three and an eight percentage point correction for the bias from Miller and Sanjurjo’s calculations are applied to my data set as well as many other studies, that a hot hand effect starts to surface more frequently.

  • Coaching Made Easy
    coaching made easy Training Drills 1 | P a g e The National Coaching and Accreditation Scheme (NCAS) was established in 1978 with the primary aim of up-grading and expanding coaching expertise across a wide range of sports. Basketball Australia has embraced this scheme since its inception. This Resource Manual is a substantial revision on previous editions and supports the new NCAS structure for Basketball Australia’s Club Coach Level (equivalent to the previous NCAS Level1) many thanks to the numerous coaches who have been kind enough to have input into these resources over the years and in the current upgrade. The manual remains the basis of Basketball Australia’s NCAS Club Coach course however has been produced in separate booklets to make it easier for coaches to identify specific information they are seeking This resource is not designed to have all coaches around Australia doing the same thing, rather it is to allow coaches at all levels to perform more effectively and constructively. The application of knowledge remains flexible according to the talent and ability of the individual coach and the athletes they are working with. Introduction Australia has a proud history in basketball and in 2004 was ranked 3rd amongst all nations. This success is due in no small way to the tireless work of coaches throughout the country, from “learn to play” programs right through to the Boomers and Opals. The National Coaching and Accreditation Scheme (NCAS) was established in 1978 with the primary aim of up-grading and expanding coaching expertise across a wide range of sports.
