Physics can be applied to any situation, anywhere, even if there is no movement. In Basketball specifically though, players pass the ball to eachother,and shoot. Every time the ball is thrown through the air, either in a pass or a shot, it will travel on a parabolic path, meaning the path will look like an arch if viewed from the side. Every time you hear the players shoes squeal, the force of friction is helping the players accelerate (which means a change of speed or direction, not always just speeding up). That friction causes the shoes to vibrate, which vibrates the air molecules that surround the shoe. That vibration travels through the air, and you hear it as sound. I could go on forever on this question, there are an infinite number of examples where physics applies in Basketball. Hope this helps!

That is a hard question to answer as I like both sports.

I have only played on a soccer team before and really enjoyed the experience though I enjoy playing basketball in spare time with my brother or friends.

Both use up your energy though!!

2004 UConn

Twin National Championships Are A First In Division I Basketball

UConn: It's Amazing. That public service announcement, introduced earlier this year with Emeka Okafor as its centerpiece, has never been truer than it is today. Twin NCAA national championships in men's and women's basketball - a first for NCAA Division I basketball - have people and media outlets of every stripe shaking their heads and muttering the 'A' word. At the same time, many of those same people are looking up and taking notice of UConn's academic stature: The University has been the Number 1 ranked public university in New England for five consecutive years. The campus boasts more than three-dozen new academic and residential buildings. Undergraduate applications are pouring in - nearly 20,000 of them, the most ever - with valedictorians and salutatorians lining up to enroll. And the capital campaign will exceed its goal when it ends this June. "What these student-athletes have accomplished is nothing short of amazing," University President Philip Austin told a reporter Wednesday afternoon, less than two hours after returning to Gulley Hall from the airport and New Orleans, where the women's team polished off Tennessee, 70-61, to seal the historic pair of victories. "And we can leverage the attention to discuss what a tremendous academic experience we offer students who come here." Wednesday, Austin was doing his level best to keep up with media asking about the University's academic successes, conducting interviews with television reporters from New York, Boston, and Connecticut, before racing to the Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts to deliver the keynote address to more than 1,500 students at Scholars Day. The event celebrated students who achieved 3.5 or 4.0 grade point averages in consecutive semesters in the 2003 calendar year. The list included nearly two-dozen student-athletes. The next day, Austin presided over a reception celebrating some of UConn's best faculty, the 2004 Board of Trustees Distinguished Professors. On Thursday, too, he was quoted extensively in an article in The New York Times, and interviewed by a reporter from Bloomberg News Service. And on Friday, he was interviewed for features on several Sunday morning talk shows. A reporter for National Public Radio will visit campus this week. More interviews are planned, and in each one Austin trumpets the transformation of the University's academic programs and infrastructure, along with its athletic successes. The opportunity for the interviews was created by the amazing success of the basketball teams. Although both teams were picked #1 in the Nov. 24, 2003 college basketball issue of Sports Illustrated, with Okafor and women's star Diana Taurasi on the cover, few thought it would actually happen, especially as the long season wore on and each team struggled temporarily with pressure and injuries. In the end, however, the past proved to be just so much prologue. The women's team won the championship for the third consecutive year, its fourth title in five years. The men's victory, an 82-73 swamping (they led at times by as many as 25 points) of Georgia Tech, was their second national championship in the past six years. "We made history last night," Athletic Director Jeffrey Hathaway said during a celebration in Gampel Pavilion for the women's team. "It's the first time the same school has won the men's and women's basketball championships in the same year. When we start the 2004 season, there will be seven national championship banners hanging in here." The success didn't surprise Hathaway, who several weeks earlier told a reporter "excellence is our benchmark at UConn, academically and athletically." Hathaway, Austin, and sports media nationwide were buoyant with praise for the team's coaches, Jim Calhoun and Geno Auriemma, each of whom has established a tradition of excellence in their roles as men's and women's coach, respectively. Both Calhoun, who has been at UConn for 18 years, and Auriemma, who has led the women's team from obscurity to the top program in the nation since he arrived in Storrs 17 years ago, aretough on their players on the court and in the classroom. During receptions celebrating each team's success last week, the two coaches received the loudest applause. One of the more touching moments occurred Tuesday, when more than 6,000 fans in Gampel Pavilion began chanting 'Hall of Fame,' as Calhoun attempted to speak to the crowd. The chant was in reaction to a secret ballot cast last Monday in which Calhoun reportedly fell just one vote short of being voted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. The success of the basketball teams will be celebrated again with a parade and reception in Hartford on April 18. The parade will begin at 1:30 p.m. in front of the state Capitol. Three weeks later, the success of thousands of other UConn students will be celebrated during commencement exercises May 9 for undergraduat es and May 8 for graduate students. The venue for those academic celebrations? The Harry A. Gampel Pavilion, of course, Home of the Huskies.

If a player is traded away who has a higher salary than the player the team traded for, the team gets what is known as a 'Trade Exception.' This means the team has a year to get more salary in other players they trade away, as long as they are equal to or less than the difference in salary in the original trade.

Baseball is the most popular sport in several Caribbean countries. Cuba has a successful professional league, and the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico have thriving winter leagues and youth leagues. The Netherlands Antilles is most often the Caribbean representative in the Little League World Series.

In countries with stronger ties to Europe, football (soccer) and cricket are more popular than baseball. This is true in Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados and Martinique.

There are currently two teams in Florida: The Florida Panthers, and The Tampa Bay Lightning

Depending on your sport increasing your vertical jump relates mostly to increasing strength, plyometric, ability, and movement efficiency. There are other aspects such as balance, mobility, flexibility, etc. That will help you maximize your ability.

Begin your training focus based on your current ability set. For example a strong jumper with little speed, and plyometric ability would want to start a program based on plyometrics while maintaining strength levels.

Most athletes need to start increasing their strength levels first, as there is a prerequisite amount of strength necessary in order to perform at ones maximum ability. Without the necessary strength contraction speed will be inhibited by the lack of ability to overcomes one own body weight.

Strength training 1 -2 times a week is an excellent starting point, with focuses on glut's, hams, quads, calves, and core. Supplementary upper body 1 - 2 per week can help as well. Plyometrics training 1 - 2 times per week. Most athletes over train and under recover, by breaking the muscles down far too often without a proper recovery period.
