DISCUSSION BOARD

POINT DISCUSSION

1. What are the objectives of the game?

 The player must throw the ball into the opponent’s basket from above
in order to gain a point or ‘SCORE’. He/she is not allowed to throw the
ball into the basket from the below. Each player will do his best to
prevent the opponent from gaining score defense against the opponent
because each time a player scores a basket, the team is awarded two
points if the shot is made inside the paint or perimeter, and three points
if taken beyond the arc or rainbow. When a basket is scored, a player
from the opposing team restarts the game by inbounding the ball into
play from behind the endline. The team that has the greatest number
of points at full-time wins the game. If the scores are registered as tie
10 at the end, full-tiem, extra time or overtime is played. If overtime or
extra time is played, each period is given an additional 5 minutes. The
game consists of two halves; 20 minutes each with normal interval of
10minutes at half time. The actual playing time is 40 minutes, but the
game often takes twice as long to complete because each time the
whistle is blown, say for afoul or for other violation of the rules, the

2
 clock stops and only restarts when a player touches the ball on the
court.
2. Give some new rules and violations in playing basketball
 Rules for the offense. The basketball team on offense is tahe team
with the basketball. When a player has the basketball there are certain
rules they must follow:
 The player must bounce, or dribble, the ball with one hand while
moving both feet. If, at any time, both hands touch the ball or
the player stops dribbling, the player must only move one foot.
The foot that is stationary is called the pivot foot.
 The basketball player can only take one turn at dribbling. In
other words, once a player has stopped dribbling, they cannot
start another dribble. A player who starts dribbling again is
called for a double-dribbling violation and loses the basketball to
the other team. A player can only start another dribble after
another player from either team touches or gains control of the
basketball. This is usually after a shot or pass.
 The ball must stay in bounds. If the offensive team loses the ball
out of bounds the other team gets control of the basketball.
 The players hand must be on top of the ball while dribbling. If
they touch the bottom of the basketball while dribbling and
continue to dribble this is called carrying the ball and the player
will lose the ball to the other team.
 Once the offensive team crosses half court, they may not go
back into the backcourt. This is called a backcourt violation. If
the defensive team knocks the ball into the backcourt, then the
offensive team can recover the ball legally.

Defensive Rules. The team on defense is the team without the

basketball.

3
  The main rule for the defensive player is not to foul. A foul is
described as gaining an unfair advantage through physical
contact. There is some interpretation that has to be made by the
referee, but, in general, the defensive player may not touch the
offensive player in a way that causes the offensive player to
lose the ball or miss a shot.

Rules for everyone

 Although the foul rule is described above as a defensive rule, it

applies exactly the same to all players on the court including
offensive players.
 Basketball players cannot kick the ball or hit it with their fist.
 No player can touch the basketball while it is traveling
downward towards the basket or if it is on the rim. This is called
goaltending. (Touching the ball on the rim is legal in some
games).
 Every player on the court is subject to the same rules regardless
of the position they play. The positions in basketball are just for
team basketball strategy and there are no positions in the rules.

 VIOLATIONS

 TRAVELING
When a player takes more than two steps between dribbles or
without dribbling the basketball. Traveling can also occur when
a player who has picked up the dribble switches his or her pivot
foot.
 PALMING
When a player dribbles the basketball in a manner that has their
palm too far to the side or underneath the basketball.

4
  DOUBLE DRIBBLE
When a player picks up their dribble to establish their position
and then restarts their dribble, or when a player dribbles the
basketball with two hands at the same time.
 HELD BALL
When two players gain possession of the ball and a brief battle
for the basketball occurs. The referee will award possession to
one team, alternating which team gets the ball each subsequent
time it occurs.

 BACKCOURT OR “OVER & BACK”

When an offensive player brings the basketball over the half-
court line and then retreats back over mid court during their
possession.

 KICKING
When a player kicks the basketball.
 FREE THROW VIOLATIONS
Every player must remain in place until the ball is shot by the
free throw shooter. If the offense travels into the free throw lane
prior to the shooter’s release of the ball, then the shot does not
count. If the defense ventures into the free throw lane too early,
then another shot attempt is awarded to the shooter, if they
miss.

3. What are the facilities & equipment in playing basketball?

 Court Size. The size of the basketball court depends on the playing
level. The size of the court for NBA and College games is 94 feet long
and 50 feet wide. It is smaller for High School and Junior High
competitions.

5
  The Backboard and Rim. The regulation height above the ground for
the rim (hoop) is 10 feet, and the rim is 18 inches in diameter.
Backboards are 6 feet wide (72 inches) by 42 inches tall, with the inner
square being 24 inches wide by 18 inches tall.
 The Foul Line. For all size courts the 'foul line' is 15 feet in front of the
backboard.
 The Key. The key is 12 feet wide and is the same for all basketball
courts. The backboard extends 4 feet out over the baseline into the
key. A half circle of diameter 6 feet extends from the foul line away
from the basket to complete the key.
 The 3 Point Line (Arc). For NBA Basketball Courts the 3 point arc is 22
feet to the center of the rim on the sides with a straight line extending
out 16 feet 9 inches from the baseline. Past those points, the line
extends out 23 feet 9 inches from the center of the rim.
 Line Markings. All line markings on the floor are 2 inches wide and can
vary in color.
