Basketball games are fun to watch and people from all over the world watch games every day. The sport is growing in popularity each year. The game of basketball is based on easy to lean rules. The game offers more enjoyment to those who understand the basic concepts of the sport.
One team member plays in the post area. The post area is the area around the basket or goal. The goal is a metal hoop that is attached to a backboard. The hoop or basket is located ten feet off the ground and the objective of the game is to put the ball into the hoop.
Two team members play in the wing area. The middle of the court is called the wing area. Two team member play at the top of the court which is also known as the top of the key. The key is the painted area that reaches twenty feet from the backboard or base line.
The key is the area that reaches twenty feet from the baseline of the court. The players who have control of the ball are said to be on the offensive. The team without control of the ball is said to be on the defensive. The offensive team tries to shoot the ball into the hoop, also known as scoring, while the defensive team’s objective is to try to keep the offense from scoring.
The offensive team, by putting the basketball into the hoop, can score one point, two points, or three points. The offense will score one point by scoring on a free shot or free throw. The free shot is given to an offensive player who was fouled by a defensive player.
A foul occurs when an opposing player pushes, hits, or otherwise comes into contact with an offensive player. The charity throw allows a player to shoot a shot at the basket uncontested. The player who is fouled will have two charity shots each time he has been fouled.
The team will receive two points if the team shoots the ball into the hoop from within the three point line. If an offensive player puts the basketball in the hoop from outside the three point line he or she will score three points for his team. The team with the most points at the end of basketball games wins. Basketball is very easy to learn and fun to watch. The game is growing in popularity everyday.

Rush, John Vanak, Joe Gushue, Jack Madden, Jess Kersey $9.43 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Earl “Yogi” Strom (December 15, 1927 July 10, 1994) was a professional basketball referee for 29 years in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and for three years in the American Basketball Association (ABA). Strom is credited as the greatest referee in the history of the NBA and was known for his flamboyant style and ability to control the game. Nicknamed “The Pied Piper”, the assertive Strom made foul calls with his whistle by using a “tweet-pause-tweet-tweet” tune and pointing at the offending player. In addition to calling fouls with flair, he was known for ejecting players from games with style and he sometimes supported his rulings with physical force. Over the course of his career, he officiated 2,400 professional basketball regular season games, 295 playoff games, seven All-Star games, and 29 NBA and ABA Finals. For his extensive contributions to the game, Strom was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1995. Strom was born December 15, 1927 in Pottstown, Pennsylvania to Max and Bessie Strom. Earl’s father, Max, was a foreman at a bakery, and Earl grew up in the household as the youngest of seven children comprising five boys and two girls. As a child, he became interested in athletics and competing in sports, and this interest lasted throughout his childhood and into high school. At Pottstown High School, Strom played football, baseball, and basketball. After finishing high school in 1945, he joined the United States Coast Guard towards the end of World War II. Returning from service, Strom attended Pierce Junior College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he graduated in 1951. Following school, the young Strom continued participating in sports and played for a local semi-professional basketball team in his early 20s. Durin… More: |

People From Newport, Kentucky: Dave Cowens $10.37 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Selected by Boston Celtics David William Cowens (born October 25, 1948, in Newport, Kentucky) is a retired American professional basketball player and NBA head coach. At 6’9″, he played the center and occasionally the power forward position. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1991. He was recently an assistant coach for the Detroit Pistons, and currently serves as a special assistant to Pistons President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars. After starring in high school at Newport Central Catholic High in his hometown of Newport, Kentucky, Cowens played his collegiate basketball at Florida State University from 1967 to 1970. He scored 1,479 points in 78 games at Florida State playing D-1 ball, at 19.0 points per game, and ranks among Florida State’s top 10 all-time scoring leaders. He is the all-time Florida State leading rebounder with 1,340 rebounds (17.2 rebounds per game). He holds the team record for best seasonal rebound average (17.5 in the 1968-1969 season).
