Basketball Rules and Regulations

In 1935, a rule was adopted that stopped any offensive player from standing in the free throw lane for more than three seconds. In 1955, the foul lane was widened to 12 feet (3.7 meters) from the previous 6 feet (1.83 meters). These changes resulted in more offensive movement and less rough physical contact near the basket.

The starting players have to stand outside of the center court circle, except for the two players jumping for the tip-off. The two "jumpers," usually the centers, stand opposite each other on opposite sides of the center court line facing their goals in the middle of the circle. The players outside of the circle may stand anywhere, but they usually line up around the permimeter of the center circle.

You get 2 free throws in college and 1 free throw in the NBA.

A carry is when someone puts their hand under the ball while dribbling. It is another name for travelling.

No - football (soccer) is a contact sport, although it has less contact than American football. Defenders frequently use their body to block/shield the ball, nudge a player off a ball, or tackle (although they must hit the ball, or else it is a foul). Other players might use their opponents body to help them jump higher to head the ball from a corner kick, free kick, or goal kick. -Keep in mind though that on purposely making physical contact for non-sporting reasons, not going for the ball, or too severe may result in a foul and beyond (expulsion from the game), such as a red card.

When a player shoots the ball and it goes through the net it scores 2 points unless he is shooting from behind the 3 point arc. In that case it scores 3 points. Shots from the free-throw line (charity stripe) score 1 point.

well you connot be called on but if youpiss off someone then they can remove you

This means that the player is a free agent, but the team he is currently on can choose to match any offer made by another team in order to keep the player on his original team.

The height of any basketball hoop size will always be 10 feet

A "technical foul" is different from a "personal foul". It dose not count as a "team foul". There is no physical contact. However it can be at times. Technicals are called when: a player stands in the "paint" (pass the free throw line under or in front of the goal) for three seconds. If your team is on offence, you commit an "offensive 3-second call", the other team gets the ball. If you're on defense you get a "defensive 3-second call" the other team gets a free throw, which is worth one point, that's how it's done in the NBA. Other technicals can be if the couch or a team player continues to argues with the referee. If that happens the other team gets a free throw for one point. If a player gets enough technicals in a game he/she will be "ejected" meaning they have to leave and cannot participate for the rest of the game, they can't even sit on the bench, the have to leave (NBA rules). If a player/coach gets seven technicals in the season/playoffs they get suspended (NBA rules). Refs. can also call technicals if a player tries to swing at another player, (that mostly will result in an immediate ejection), or if a player taunts another player.

You can call a timeout whenever you would like to.

Court sizes varies. Many high school and college/universities courts are 84 feet by 50 feet. Note that some are 94 feet by 50 feet.

An overtime period in college basketball is 5 minutes.

You don't need any points to get a free throw. You get free throws when someone commits a shooting foul.

10 feet

it depends upon the seating of the stadium and fire codes. every single person who comes to a college football game is required by law to be clothed in proper attire. if the stadium allows 25,000 people, then 25,000 people must be properly attired. if you go to a crazy football school, in the PAC10 or texas, or somewhere like that, the stadiums are much larger, so more people would have to be properly attired. look up your college and find out the capacity of the football stadium, add a few hundred for those on the field, security, reporters, etc., and that should tell you how many people will be dressed for the game.

No!

The traveling violation occurs when person throws ball on the court and another player receives it and moves both feet without dribbling the ball.

Inbounds means within the dimensions of the playing court. Out of bounds means outside the dimensions of the playing court.

8 ft is the official NBA height from floor to the rim.

Yes, in the 70's

1976 Three for two rule introduced to allow players fouled in the act of shooing to attempt a third fouls shot if either of the first two attempts miss.

There was also a 2 for 1 rule during that time. All defensive fouls were awarded a free throw or free throws. If a one shot foul was called and the defensive team was in the penalty situation, the shooter was awarded 2 shots to make 1.

One rule in basketball is, once you cross halfcourt with the ball, you cannot go back to the other half of the court; hence, backcourt. If you go backcourt, or go over halfcourt again after passing it with the ball, you turn the ball over, or give it to the other team, because backcourt is an illegal action in the game of basketball.
