Basketball Rules and Regulations

The career leader for most personal fouls in NBA history is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 4657. He played 20 seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Lakers. He also holds the record for most career points scored. Next on the list for most personal fouls is Karl Malone of the Utah Jazz with 4578 and Robert Parish with 4443.

8 minutes per quarter x 4 quarters = 32 minutes of total game time.

if you fall down and then you pass the ball to another player that would be the best thing to do. But if you get up off the floor and or roll over then it would be a roll penalty and the opposing team would get the ball. the best bet would be to pass to another player without rolling.

The basketball rim is ten feet from the ground.

Professional basketball (NBA and FIBA) has its games divided into quarters, as do high school ball (at least in my experience). NCAA basketball games are divided into two 20 minute halves, as are many recreational leagues. So, does basketball have quarters? Sometimes.

The free throw line in basketball is 15 feet away from the hoop. It is also 12 foot from end to end. Free throws allow the team to score points with no opposition during the throw.

I would put it at 10 feet so he can get good practice for when he's older.

Well,

"The back of the free throw line is 13 feet 9 inches away from the center of the rim; measured horizontally, and 15 feet away from the backboard."

But little kids get to take one step in.

No?! I don't mean to offend you but that's a stupid Q

In baseball a batter can ONLY be called out on a hit foul ball if said foul ball is caught without it hitting the ground ... and personally I think that rule is very foully itself. In order to speed up the game of baseball and make it more exciting, I propose there be a strict limit on foul balls. Change the rules in professional baseball and make it that once the count reaches two strikes, the batter may only hit ONE MORE FOUL BALLwithout penalty. On the second foul after the second strike, the batter is OUT ... and it's scored as a strikeout for the pitcher. It's that simple!

A shot behind the three-point line will result in three points to the offensive team. a shot/lay-up/dunk inside the three-point line will result in two points to the offensive team. if a player gets a "free throw" then each free throw is worth one point to the offensive team.

* Kicked balls are usually easy to spot, as defenders will often kick out their legs to try to deflect a pass. But it is important to remember that a kicked ball is reserved for violations that are done on purpose. This means that if a offensive player throws the ball into the leg of a defensive player who is stationary, it should not be a kick ball.When a ball is accidentally hit off of someone's leg, it is a live ball and no whistles should be blown.

In a typical NBA regulation game the number of players allowed is five (5) per team, for a total of ten (10) players.

You can substitute but there will always be five on each team.

In addition to players, there are three referees for a total of 13.

the ten second rule in basketball is called when the offense (team with the ball) has not yet crossed half court on to the other side within the ten second time limit. The National Basketball Association changed this rule to the "8 second rule", where as the name suggests, an offensive player must cross the ball passed the half court line 8 seconds after gaining possession.

4 points, but if foul it it is 3 point. This is the columbian basket ball rule.

A basketball game (NBA) is technically only 48 minutes. However, with half-time, timeouts, fouls, and close games, a basketball game is actually around 2 1/2 hours.

The game is divided into 4 quarters, each 12 minutes long. Should the score be tied at the end of the fourth quarter, the game will go into a 5 minute overtime period. Should the game be tied at the end of overtime, there will be a 5 minute second overtime, and so on.

College basketball games are 40 minutes, with no quarters but instead two 20 minute halves. If the score is tied at the end of regulation, the game will proceed into a five minute bonus period called overtime, similar to the NBA.

If it looks like the player who fouled did it on purpose then it would be called an intentional foul. otherwise just a foul

The dimensions of an NBA and NCAA Basketball court is 94 feet long by 50 feet wide (approximately 29 meters by 15 meters). The dimensions of an FIBA basketball court is 28 meters by 15 meters (approximately 92 feet by 49 feet).

in basketball good etiquette requires you to 1. not argue with the referees-- 2. do not argue or fight with other players-- 3. do not spit on the floor is another one. In soccer you should kick the ball into touch if a player is injured to stop the game. In cricket you should walk off if you know you are out and not force the umpire to decide. At the end of any match the opponents should shake hands. In judo you should bow to your opponent before the bout.

There are 40 minutes in College Basketball game

Intentional foul - a personal foul which the official feels was deliberate. Two free throws are awarded, as well as a personal foul against the offender.

For example someone is going for a layup and i push them against the wall. with out even trying to block there shot.

A regulation NBA basketball court is 94 feet in length

Line fouls can occur when the thrower steps onto or over the line.

Sector fouls occur when the javelin does no land inside of the sector lines (on the line is a foul as well).

Fouls are also called for unsafe delivery technique including side arm throwing and rotational throwing. These fouls are called primarily for the safety of the athlete(s)

Fouls are called when a javelin does not land correctly - for a throw to be legal, the front tip of the javelin must land first.

If profanities, inappropriate gestures, or other unacceptable behaviors are displayed by the athlete, the official may call a foul and scratch a competitor's throw.

The football, after being kicked by the place kicker, must travel over the crossbar and between the two uprights of the goal post. It can hit one of these bars, but it must then bounce in such a way that it still goes over the crossbar and between the uprights. There is no limit on how high the football can go. The "uprights", though they have a finite physical length, are considered, for the purposes of the game, to extend upward infinitely.
