    NATURE OF THE GAME

    LESSON 2
    Nature Of The Game

    • Basketball is a team sport. Two teams of five players


    each try to score by shooting a ball through a hoop
    elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is played
    on a rectangular floor called the court/and there is a
    hoop at each end.
    Nature Of The Game
    • The court is divided into two main sections by the mid-court line. If the
    offensive team puts the ball into play behind the mid-court line, it has ten
    seconds to get the ball over the mid-court line. If it doesn't, then the
    defense gets the ball. Once the offensive team gets the ball over the mid-
    court line, it can no longer have possession of the ball in the area in back
    of the line.
    Nature Of The Game

    • If it does, the defense is awarded the ball./The ball is


    moved down the court toward the basket by passing
    or dribbling. The team with the ball is called the
    offense. The team without the ball is called the
    defense. They try to steal the ball, contest shots,
    steal and deflect passes, and garner rebounds.
    Nature Of The Game
    • When a team makes a basket, they score two points and the ball
    goes to the other team. If a basket, or field goal, is made outside
    of the three-point arc, then that basket is worth three points. A
    free throw is one point. Free throws are awarded to a team
    according to some formats involving the number of fouls
    committed in a half and or the type of foul committed.
    Nature Of The Game
    • Fouling a shooter always results in two or three free throws,
    depending upon when he shot. If he was beyond the three-point
    line, then he gets three shots. Other types of fouls do not result
    in free throws being awarded until a certain number have
    accumulated during a half.
    Nature Of The Game
    • Once that number is reached, then the player who was fouled is awarded a
    '1-and-1' opportunity. If he makes his first free throw, he gets to attempt a
    second. If he misses the first shot, the ball is live on the rebound.
    Nature Of The Game

    • Each game is divided into sections. All levels have


    two halves. In college, each half is twenty minutes
    long, In high school and below, the halves are
    divided into eight (and sometimes, six) minute
    quarters. In the pros, quarters are twelve minutes.
    Nature Of The Game

    • There is a gap of several minutes between halves. Gaps


    between quarters are relatively short. If the score is tied
    at the end of regulation, then overtime periods of
    various lengths are played until a winner emerges.
    Nature Of The Game
    • Each team will assign a basket or goal to defend. This means
    that the other basket is their scoring basket. At halftime, the
    teams switch goals. The game begins with one player from
    either team at center court. A referee will toss the ball up
    between the two. The player that gets his hands on the ball will
    tip it to a teammate.
    Nature Of The Game

    • This is called a tip-off. In addition to stealing the ball


    from an opposing player, there are other ways for a
    team to get the ball. One such way is if the other team
    commits a foul or violation.
