Official NBA Rules. In the National Basketball Association, a dribble is the movement of the ball caused by a player in control, throwing or touching the ball in the air or on the ground. The dribble ends when the player: touches the ball simultaneously with both hands. Allows the ball to rest while the player is in control of it. Traveling means moving one foot or feet in a direction that exceeds the prescribed limits while holding the ball. The limits of foot movements are as follows: ART. 1. A player who catches the ball with both feet on the ground can turn with both feet. When one foot is lifted, the other is the swivel foot.
ARTICLE 2. A player who catches the ball while moving or dribbling may stop and establish a rotating foot as follows: a. If both feet are on the ground and the player lands: 1. At the same time, on both feet, each foot can be the linchpin of the linchpin . 2. On one foot followed by the other, the first foot touched is the pivot point. 3. On one foot, the player can jump from that foot and land on both at the same time. Neither foot can be a pivot point in this case. b.
When one foot is on the ground: 1. This is the pivot point when the other foot touches in one step. 2. The player can jump off this foot and land on both at the same time. Neither foot can be a pivot point in this case. ARTICLE 3. After stopping and placing a swivel foot: a. The swivel foot can be lifted but not returned to the ground until the ball is released on a pass or goal attempt. b. If the player bounces back, no foot can be returned to the ground until the ball is released on a pass or goal attempt.
c. The rotating foot should not be lifted before the ball is released to start a dribble. 4. After stopping, when neither foot can be a pivot point: a. One or both feet may be raised, but may not be returned to the ground until the ball is released on a pass or goal attempt. b. Neither foot can be raised until the ball is released to start a dribble. ART. 5.
A player holding the ball: a. Must not touch the ground with a knee or any other part of the body other than the hand or foot. b. After taking control by lying on the ground and touching others like a hand or foot, do not try to stand up or stand up. Dribbling in basketball is an action that the ball handler can perform to move the ball around the court while retaining possession of the ball. Dribbling is different from passing because the same player retains control of the ball. Dribbling is a continuous movement by which a player bounces the ball repeatedly on the ground with one hand. Wear and tear is when a player puts his hand under the basketball and keeps dribbling. When you take the ball, you have to stop dribbling and establish a spinning foot. The carry is often called when players lift the basketball when they dribble. The palm of the hand is a form of carrying injury in which the player holds or grabs the ball in the palm of their hand to help dribble instead of letting the ball touch the ground due to gravity. In 1898, Naismith was hired as the first basketball coach at the University of Kansas.
(Ironically, he is the only male coach in the program`s history to have a losing record.) During his tenure, he saw his 13 rules begin to evolve. The floors were eventually cut out of the fishing baskets to make them mature, and the free throws eventually gained favor to be part of the game. Dribbling was introduced in 1901. While Naismith initially wrote that team sizes could vary from 3 to 40 players depending on the size of floor space, five-player teams have become the norm. In basketball, dribbling is a form of maintaining possession of the ball while allowing the player to move with the ball. Once a player has the ball, he must dribble or pass the ball if he wants to move around the field. When dribbling, the player pushes the ball off the ground in a continuous motion so that gravity can help. When the player picks up the ball or stops the moving ball, the dribbling is over. Once a player has picked up his dribble, he can shoot, pass or turn. In 1944, the goalkeeper rule was introduced, which made it illegal for a defensive player to touch the ball while flying down.
This was in response to Bob Kurland (the first regular dunker) and George Mikan, who stood in front of the basket and hit virtually every opposing shot attempt. 1 Guarding is the act of legally placing the body in the path of an offensive opponent. No minimum distance between the guard and the enemy is required, but the maximum is 6 feet when tightly guarded. Each player is entitled to a seat on the field, provided that he arrives first without illegally contacting an opponent. A player who stretches an arm, shoulder, hip or leg in the path of an opponent is not considered legal in case of contact. ARTICLE 2. To obtain a first legal position as a custodian: a. The goalkeeper must have both feet touching the playing field. b.
The front of the upper body of the guard must face the enemy. ARTICLE 3. After obtaining the initial position of legal custody: a. The goalkeeper may have one or both feet on the field or be in the air, provided he has an incoming status. b. The guard is not obliged to continue to face the enemy. c. The guard may move laterally or obliquely to hold the position, provided that it is not in the direction of the enemy in contact. d. The guard may raise his hands or jump into his own vertical plane.
e. The protector can twist or slip to absorb the shock of impending contact. 4 Keeping an opponent with the ball or an opponent stationary – without the ball: a. It takes neither time nor distance to obtain a first legal position. b. If the opponent is in the air with the ball, the goalkeeper must have obtained a legal position before the opponent leaves the ground. 5 Protect an opponent on the move without the ball: a. Time and distance are necessary factors to obtain an initial legal position. b. The security guard must give the adversary time and/or distance to avoid contact. c.
The distance need not be more than two stages.
