The role of an official is very crucial in a sporting endeavor. He defines the success or failure

possess several qualities for him to meet the goal of having a satisfying, complain-free,
impartial, and successful game.

1. Basketball

The Objective of the Game

The objective of basketball is to throw the ball (basketball) into a hoop to score points. The
game is played out on a rectangular court and depending on which section of court you
successfully throw a ball into the basket will depend on how many points are scored. The
ball can be moved around by dribbling or passing the ball. At the end of the game, the team
with the most points is declared the winner.
Scoring

There are three scoring numbers for basketball players. Any basket scored from outside the
three-point arc will result in three points being scored. Baskets scored within the three-
point arc will result in two points being scored. Successful free throws will result in 1 point
being scored per free throw. The number of free throws will depend on where the foul was
committed.

Rules of Basketball

1. Each team can have a maximum of 5 players on the court at any one time. Substitutions
can be made as many times as they wish within the game.
2. The ball can only be moved by either dribbling (bouncing the ball) or passing the ball.
Once a player puts two hands on the ball (not including catching the ball) they cannot then
dribble or move with the ball and the ball must be passed or shot.
3. After the ball goes into a team’s half and they win possession back the ball must then
make it back over the halfway line within 10 seconds. If the ball fails to do so then a foul will
be called and the ball will be turned over.
4. Each team has 24 seconds to at least shot at the basket. A shot constitutes either going in
the basket or hitting the rim of the basket. If after the shot is taken and the ball fails to go in
the basket then the shot clock is restarted for another 24 seconds.
5. The team trying to score a basket is called the offense whilst the team trying to prevent
them from scoring is called the defense. The defense must do all they can to stop the
offense from scoring by either blocking a shot or preventing a shot from being fired.
6. After each successful basket the ball is then turned over to the opposition.
7. Fouls committed throughout the game will be accumulated and then when reached a
certain number will be eventually be awarded as a free throw. A free throw involves one
player from the offensive team (the player fouled) to take a shot unopposed from the free-
throw line. Depending on where the foul was committed will depend on the number of free
throws a player gets.
8. Violations in basketball include traveling (taking more than one step without bouncing the
ball), double dribble (picking the ball up dribbling, stopping then dribbling again with two
hands), goal-tending (a defensive player interferes with the ball traveling downwards
towards the basket) and backcourt violation (once the ball passes the halfway line the
offensive team cannot take the ball back over the halfway line).
