PATHFIT 4 Module 3
 BASKETBALL
Basketball is a team sport. But in basketball
teams, every player has got his ambitions. To
get a transfer in the best teams, to beat one of
the best players, to win as many trophies as he
can to be in his national team squad, and play
against other countries. But it is a team sport,
which needs cooperation and team spirit.

In early December 1891, Dr. James Naismith,

a Canadian-born physical education professor
and instructor at the International Young Men's
Christian Association Training School (YMCA)
(today, Springfield College) in Springfield,
Massachusetts, USA, was trying to keep his
gym class active on a rainy day.

BRIEF HISTORY OF BASKETBALL
In contrast with modern basketball nets, this peach basket retained its
bottom, and balls had to be retrieved manually after each "basket" or
point scored; this proved inefficient, however, so the bottom of the
basket was removed allowing the balls to be poked out with a long
dowel each time. The peach baskets were used until 1906 when they
were finally replaced by metal hoops with backboards. A further change
was soon made, so the ball merely passed through, paving the way for
the game we know today. An association football was used to shoot
baskets. Whenever a persongot the ball in the basket, his team would
gain a point. Whichever team got the most points won the game. The
baskets were originally nailed to the mezzanine balcony of the playing
court, but this proved impractical when spectators on the balcony
began to interfere with shots. The backboard was introduced to prevent
this interference; it had the additional effect of allowing rebound shots.

 The object of the game is to outscore one's opponents by
throwing the ball through the opponents' basket from above
while preventing the opponents from doing so on their own.

HOW TO PLAY
An attempt to score in this way is called a shot. A successful
shot is worth two points, or three points if it is taken from

BASKETBALL
beyond the three-point arch which is 6.25 meters (20 ft 6 in)
from the basket in international games and 23 feet 9 inches
(7.24 m) in NBA games.
A one-point shot can be earned when shooting from the foul
line after a foul is made. Games are played in four quarters of
10 (FIBA) or 12 minutes (NBA). Fifteen minutes are allowed
for a half-time break under FIBA, NBA, and NCAA rules.
Overtime periods are five minutes in length. Teams exchange
baskets for the second half. The time allowed is actual playing
time; the clock is stopped while the play is not active.
Therefore, games generally take much longer to complete
than the allotted game time, typically about two hours.

 Five players from each team may be on the court at one time.
Substitutions are unlimited but can only be done when play is stopped.
Teams also have a coach, who oversees the development and strategies
of the team, and other team personnel such as assistant coaches,
managers, statisticians, doctors and trainers. For both men's and women's HOW TO PLAY
teams, a standard uniform consists of a pair of shorts and a jersey with a
clearly visible number, unique within the team, printed on both the front
and back. Players wear high-top sneakers that provide extra ankle
BASKETBALL
support. Typically, team names, players' names and, outside of North
America, sponsors are printed on the uniforms.

The game is controlled by the officials consisting of the referee (referred to

as crew chief in the NBA), one or two umpires (referred to as referees in
the NBA) and the table officials. For college, the NBA, and many high
schools, there are a total of three referees on the court. The table officials
are responsible for keeping track of each team’s scoring, timekeeping,
individual and team fouls, player substitutions, team possession arrow,
and the shot clock.

Positions in Basketball
Ø Point Guard usually the fastest player on the team, organizes the team's offense by controlling
the ball and making sure that it gets to the right player at the right time.

Ø Shooting Guard creates a high volume of shots on offense; guards the opponent's best
perimeter player on defense.

Ø Small Forward often primarily responsible for scoring points via cuts to the basket and dribble
penetration; on defense seeks rebounds and steals, but sometimes plays more actively.

Ø Power Forward plays offensively often with their back to the basket; on defense, plays under
the basket (in a zone defense) or against the opposing power forward (in man-to-man defense).

Ø Center uses height and size to score (on offense), to protect the basket closely (on defense), or
to rebound.
