Guidelines For Basketball Across The Country

By Lisa Robinson


If you are aspiring to form a basketball team, you should have it in mind that you will need to have at least nine good players. This was the idea of the first man who brought it to existence. Dr James Naismith invented basketball in 1891, after which the guidelines for basketball across the country became published in January 1892. Although some of them look different today, they are all a modification of the old rules.

The scoring system in this game is unique. To win a game does not actually depend on the number of times the ball enters the net because points are awarded according to the distance from the net. This is why the players often try to develop skills for shooting the ball. A player who can easily score from outside the three point line is an asset to the team because he can quickly generate scores in multiples of three. Shots obtained inside the line only yields two points while a free throw gives one point.

The winner is decided after the game by calculating all the points. According to the way the points are scored, it is difficult for one to decide the fate of any team until after the final whistle. This is because points can be accumulated within minutes if the other team tries to be defensive around the net. The more a team scores from outside the three point line, the greater their chances of carrying the day.

Players are also prohibited from kicking the ball. The only means by which the ball must be moved is with the hands. Even at this, players should learn when both hands must be used and instances when only one hand is required to move the ball.

It is unacceptable to run with the ball without bouncing it or dribbling a player. This is different in football where a fast player is considered skillful because he can run with the ball. Basketball has a set of rules that look quite different from other sports.

The officials look out for situations where players are said to carry the ball. Carrying the ball is the phenomenon whereby a team mate touches the bottom of the ball while trying to maneuver his opponents. The right position to touch the ball while dribbling is the top of it and failure to adhere to this grants the other side the right to handle the ball.

It is not allowed for a play that has crossed the half line to pass the ball back into his side except if there was a deflection caused by an opponent. It is however expected of him to pass the ball, bounce it forward or dribble a challenger. A team with the ball should target the other side's net as quickly as possible.

The place where this game is played is known as the court. Players are always time conscious about staying in their own court or in an opponent's court without making an attempt to score. FIBA is the highest authority in the sport.
