Basketball Rules and Regulations

When a foul is committed the player receives 1 personal foul. Their opponent is allowed to shoot up to 3 foul shots depending on if the basket is made or not made when they are fouled. If the shot was not made when they shot inside the 3 point line, they are awarded 2 foul shots. If the shot was not made from the 3 point line, they are awarded 3 foul shots. If the shot is made in either situation (from the 3 point line or inside the 3 point line), they are awarded 1 foul shot.

Not in the NBA- that is called a travel.

In the NCAA, yes, provided it is a bonefide shot attempt, in the opinion of the official. Rule 9, paragraph 6 of the NCAA Rule Book indicates that any shot attempt constitutes a loose ball and hence, anyone can recover it.

Usually, in higher class games (i.e. NBA, NCAA, etc.) there are three. In tourney games, there are three. In high school games and junior high games, there are most likely two.

A time out can be called after the first free throw in a two free throw situation, during live play (when the team has the ball- if the other team has the ball, you cannot call a time out), after the last free throw, and at any other stoppage of play (blood on the floor, official mistake, etc.).

a way to improve your shooting and your accuracy is to

1. buy a stabilizer,it weighs out ur bow just a little bit

2.make sure you pull your bow back the same way every shot and if u have a release put it on the same spot of your face you always put it at

3.if you dont have a release . . buy one if you use your fingers ur more likely to tweak your bow string than using a release

I'm not sure if there is a real limit, but you should at least have 8 players just for subs and in case there is an injuries once i had a team and we only had 5 people.

We all had to play every single minute of the game, and we were all so tired. But again, there's not really a limit.

Regulation backboards are 6 feet wide (72 inches) by 42 inches tall. All basketball rims (hoops) are 18 inches in diameter. The inner rectangle on the backboard is 24 inches wide by 18 inches tall.

There are 4 quarters; breaks between each quarter, then a longer break at halftime.

if there is a pretty 12 year old christian giel out there come to nyc

The whistle is blown once and play stops. If the player who is fouled has the ball, they get a free throw. If the player who is fouled is a defender, they are awarded the ball and get a free throw. The referee will point to the player who has the free throw with one arm and the direction of the team with the other.

The whistle is blown twice. Play stops, and the player who commits the foul gets ejected for 20 seconds. This usually happens to a defensive player. The referee will point to the player who commits the foul (and blow the whistle), and point to the ejection area (and blow the whistle again).

When a player pushes off the side of the pool (or the bottom)

"false start" at the beginning of the play

holding the ball under water (even if the defensive player is holding your arm down)

you take 10 steps before you bounce the ball in an AFL game or about 10 meteres.

Yes it does. They have a little half-court area on one of the top decks. A very busy area usually full with teenagers.

20 feet from the basketball rim.

Jump ball.....(in case you don't know what that is, the two players who had their hand on the ball stand opposite to each other and the ref tosses the ball up, the players then have to tip the ball to their teammates)

There are eight states that use the shot clock. They include California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Rhode Island and Washington. Washington was just added in the 2010-11 season.

4 fouls. On the fifth foul the player charged is disqualified from the remainder of the game and the offended player is awarded one or more free throws.

Defensive 3 second violation in the NBA is assessed when a member of the defense spends more than three seconds in the painted area while not actively guarding an opponent. To be considered actively guarding, a defender must be within arms length of an opponent and in a guarding position. It should also be know this rule does not exist in High School or College or anywhere else except the NBA.

Offensive 3 second violation is the more common one, it is found at all levels and is when an offensive player spends more than three seconds in the painted area while their team is in the front court in play. A shot attempt by any player suspends this count. If the ball hits the rim, this count is reset.

Don't throw from your chest. Hold your arms up and throw the ball leaving your right hand in a bent position.

In the starting line-up there are 5 players. The standard starting lineup is as follows: A point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center. Sometimes these positions are referred to by number with point guard being (#1) all the way up to a center (#5)

if a person is fouled, then he or she lines up at the free throw line. typically, three players line the 2 edges of the key (painted area) in designated spots marked by lines. if there is a blue jersey athlete shooting the free throw, the lineup facing the basket on the right and left sides (from top to bottom) is red, blue, then red. the offensive team members are stationed in the middle, while athletes of the opposing team are on the outsides. it is also possible to lineup 3 athletes on one side, and 2 on the other.

If the loss of possession is "caused" by an opponent hitting the ball away (including hitting the hand that is on the ball and knocking it away), the player who lost possession can retrieve the batted ball in the air and play on. Not only can he catch the ball in the air and score, as you suggest, but he can simply retrieve the batted ball and regain control on the ground to set up another play. If he initially loses control of the ball without anyone else forcing the loss of control, it depends if he takes more steps to retrieve the ball or not. If he cannot retrieve the ball without taking more steps, he will be in violation of the traveling rule.
