Basketball Rules and Regulations

Technical Foul, but it probably never happens.....

The backboard is used to bank the ball off of. The box on the backboard (right above the basket) is used as a guide. If you hit certain spots from certain sides of the goal, the ball will always go in the basket if thrown with the right technique.

A player can not touch the ball while they are out of bounds they can jump and touch hit it back inbounds. If the balls bounces or touches any where out of bounds then last person who touches, doesn't get the ball and it goes to the other team.

No,you can be any size.Just be good at your position.Haven't you heard of Spudd.

That depends what school you are going to and if your school has a gym.

There is no special name given to spinning a basketball on your finger. The ability to balance and spin a basketball on your finger is caused by the gyroscopic effect. The gyroscopic effect is based on the angular momentum that is needed to stabilize the ball while it is rotating.

In the NCAA you have 10 seconds to cross midcourt and you can not cross back over.

Walt 'Clyde' Frazier just pointed out during today's Knicks game (1/13/13) that the player tipping the ball out (e.g. Tyson Chandler) gets credit for the rebound and not the perimeter player who receives the tip (e.g. Jason Kidd).

Frazier disagrees with the scoring and thinks it should be the perimeter player who receives the credit. I think Mike Breen disagrees, as would I.

A basketball court is 94 feet long and 50 feet wide.

The length of a college basketball game chances based on time outs and possessions. A college basketball game can last a few extra hours if it continually goes into over time.

They are made of leather or composite leather. The composite leather balls are less expensive. The NBA Official Game Ball is a Top Grain Leather Basketball. The Wilson NCAA Official Game Ball is covered in moisture wicking composite leather.

yes the ten seconds resart after a timeout(:

A back court violation when the offensive player with the ball steps behind the half court line after crossing it.

Generally, it does not. However, if the game is very close and about to end (under a minute), the clock will usually stop. In high school, the clock only stops for timeouts, throwing the ball in bounds (after a foul or a timeout), or if an injury has occurred.

Nothing. That just means it is more likely for the player to lose the ball.

High School: Arc radius 19 feet 9 inches (6.02 m), no less than 5 feet 3 inches (1.60 m) from each sideline.

NCAA College: Arc radius 20 feet 9 inches (6.32 m), no less than 4 feet 3 inches (1.30 m) from each sideline.

FIBA: Arc radius 6.75 meters (22.1 ft), no less than 0.9 meters (3.0 ft) from each sideline.

WNBA: Arc radius 22 feet 1.75 inches (6.7501 m), no less than 3 feet 4 inches (1.02 m) from each sideline.

Yes.They Also Play By All Rules As The Men.

The referee points to direction and calls out color of team with possession of ball.

The distance of the free throw line is 15 feet (or 4.572m) from the backboard. The rim is 45cm in diameter, plus the 15 cm that divide the rim from the backboard, making the front of the rim 3.972m (or 13.03 feet) from the foul line.

The quotient system is used when there is a tie. It adds up the points scored by each team and divided by the total amount of points allowed.

A free throw is a free shot (shot at the free throw line) awarded for a few circumstances. If a player is fouled while shooting (or the fouling team is over the foul limit), then the player will shoot two or three free throws depending on where they were standing when they shot the ball. A free throw is also awarded to the best free throw shooter when the other team receives a technical foul.

In basketball there are 5 positions when on the court. They are: Point Guard (PG), Shooting Guard (SG), Small Forward (SF), Power Forward (PF) and Centre (C).

The Point Guard is usually the smaller people on the court, they're role is to mainly set up shots, pass the ball, have good dribbling skills, they can also score at the right opportunity. In the NBA the best Point Guards include: Steve Nash, Rajon Rondo, Russell Westbrook.

Shooting Guards are similar to the Point Guards but are mainly more of primary scorers. Most they are all-rounded in skill. Some great players in the NBA are: Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, and the great Michael Jordan but he is retired now.

Small Forwards are the most all-rounded players, they are responsible to do more of everything, score, pass, rebound, defend etc. Some of the best today include: Lebron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony.

Power Forwards assist with the centres. They main role is to post up, rebound, defend and block shots. They don't need to have great passing skills. Some skilled players in the NBA include: Tim Duncan, Kevin Love, Kevin Garnett.

Centres are usually the tallest on the court. They block shots and defend, on the offensive end they are meant to post up. They also collect most of the rebounds. Some great centres include: Dwight Howard, Andrew Bynum, Andrew Bogut.

In a NBA basketball team there are at least 12 players on a team. 5 play on the court at the time, while the others are on the bench. Players get 'subbed' on and off the court. These are the 5 positions that are played in basketball.

An official, NBA-approved basketball net may be anywhere between 15" to 18" long.

Obviously, it must also go around the rim of the hoop. An official basketball hoop is 18" in diameter; thus, the net must also be 18" in diameter at its widest point.
