MODULE: (PATHFIT4) – BASKETBALL (CHAPTER 3 -The Team ) A. Identify the specific positions in basketball B. Sustain interest in basketball games C. Execute the correct way of passing and catching the ball A team member is a player when he is on the playing court and entitled to play. A team member is a substitute when he is not playing on the court or is on the court or is on the playing court but not entitled to play because he has been disqualified or has committed 5 fouls. Although the rules do not specify any positions whatsoever, they have evolved as part of basketball. During the first five decades of basketball’s evolutions, one guard, two forwards, and two centers or two guards, two forwards, and one center were used. Each team shall consist of:  Not more than 10 team members for games in halves of 20 minutes.  Not more than 12 team members for games played in 4 periods of 12 minutes or for tournaments in which a team has to play more than 3 games.  A coach, and if a team wishes, an assistant coach.  A maximum of 5 team followers with special responsibilities; e.g. manager, doctor, physiotherapist, statistician, interpreter. 1  MODULE: (PATHFIT4) – BASKETBALL PLAYERS AND SUBSTITUTE A team member is a player when he is on the playing court and entitled to play. A team member is a substitute when he is not playing on the court or is on the court or is on the playing court but not entitled to play because he has been disqualified or has committed 5 fouls. Although the rules do not specify any positions whatsoever, they have evolved as part of basketball. During the first five decades of basketball’s evolutions, one guard, two forwards, and two centers or two guards, two forwards, and one center were used. Since the 1980s, more specific positions have evolved, namely: 1.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 players at the right time. Also called point guard or playmaker, he should be a good dribbler and passer. Famous NBA Point Guard 2. Shooting Guard – Creates a high volume of shoots on offence; guards the opponents best perimeter player on defense. The shooting guard is often the team’s best shooter. 3. 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. Forward is generally taller and stronger than guard. Forward usually plays in the area from the end line to the free throw lane. 4. Power Forward – plays offensively often with his 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). 2  MODULE: (PATHFIT4) – BASKETBALL He should be a good rebounder and be able to maneuver for shots close to the baskets. Forward is expected to be good middle and long distance shooter and to score baskets from penetration. 5. Center – uses size to score (on offense), to protect the basket closely (on defense), or to rebound. The center is usually the team’s tallest player and best rebounder. A center who is a good rebounder and a scorer can dominate the game. Most of the goals scored are from close range shots and from rebound situations. POSITION OF PLAYERS The above description are flexible. On some occasions, teams will choose to use a three guard offense, replacing one of the forwards or the center with a third guard. The most commonly interchanged positions are point guard and shooting guard, especially if both players have good leadership and ball handling skills. 3  MODULE: (PATHFIT4) – BASKETBALL In a typical game of basketball, there are usually five players on each team on the court, and each player has their roles and responsibilities. Traditionally, players who filled these position would solely stick to their role and focus on their task, but basketball has advanced a lot since then and every player these days are required to play two or more positions at one time. This is due to the nature of the sport where players move around and play flexibly, doing what is required in any given situation Basic Skills of Basketball In basketball there are three basic ways to move the ball: 1. Dribbling Is the way to progress with the ball by an individual player, in order to get free from his opponent or to get in a good passing or shooting position. Dribbling is the act of bouncing the ball continuously, and is a requirement for a player to take steps with the ball. To dribble, a player pushes the ball down towards the ground rather than patting it; this ensures greater control. When dribbling past an opponent, the dribbles should dribble with the hand farthest from the opponent, making it more difficult for the defensive player to get to the ball. It is therefore important for a player to be able to dribble competently with both hands. Good dribbles (or “ball handlers”) tend to be bounce the ball low to the ground, reducing the travel from the floor to the hand, making it more difficult for the defender to “steal” the b all. Additionally, good ball handlers frequently dribble behind their backs, between their legs, and change hands and directions of the dribble frequently, making a less predictable dribbling pattern that is more difficult to defend, this is called a crossover which is the most effective way to pass defenders while dribbling. A skilled player can dribble without watching the ball, using the dribbling motion or peripheral vision to keep track of the ball’s location. By not having to focus on the ball, a player can look for teammates or scoring opportunities, as well as avoid the danger of someone stealing the ball from him/her. Low control or control Dribble - The low dribble is used to protect the basketball from a nearby defender. The lower the dribble, the closer the ball is to your body and the more you control it with your wrist and fingers. It is used whenever the player is closely guarded. This type of dribbling simply entails keeping the ball low to the floor and in player's control. The ball is dribbled on the side of the body away from the defender. The palm of the dribbling hand is kept over the ball Low or Control Dribble 4  MODULE: (PATHFIT4) – BASKETBALL Points of Emphasis 1. Your head is up 2.The ball is controlled by your wrist and fingertips. 3. Your joints are bent, especially your knees, waist, and elbow keeping the ball close to your body and under control. 4. Your dribble should be in smooth rhythm. 5. Dribbling is a rhythmic activity. You should always be able to feel a musical rhythm and timing in your hand as you dribble. The High or Speed Dribble - The speed dribble is used in the open court while running. It must be mastered with either hand, with the head up at all times and under enough control so stops, changes of pace, and changes of directions are possible according to the situation. The speed dribble is executed by bouncing the ball farther in front of you increase your running speed. It involves a higher bounce as you, increase your foot speed. The higher the dribble, the more arm and shoulder action is required to control the ball. Points of Emphasis 1. The ball must be pushed farther in front of you on the bounce as you increase your running speed. 2. The faster the dribble, the higher the bounce. At full speed, the ball should bounce to your upper chest, and you should be using considerable shoulder and arm movement to control the dribble. High or Speed Dribble The Crossover Dribble - is an effective way to get by your defender to score or attack an open area to make a fundamental basketball play.” To execute a crossover dribble: Start by attacking the defensive player aggressively. Cross the basketball over to your other hand, bouncing the ball in front of your body, while staying low to the ground. As you make the crossover, stay low and move your inside shoulder to go past the defender’s hip. Push the ball out after the crossover and explode off your back foot to create separation from the defender. Behind-the-Back Dribble - This advanced form of crossover involves the ball handler, bouncing the ball off of the floor behind his feet and catching it with the other hand, usually while his/her feet are no more than shoulder-width apart. If there are no defensive players around the ball handler except one directly facing him/her, and that defender does not expect this type of dribble, it can be an even safer 5  MODULE: (PATHFIT4) – BASKETBALL way of crossing over compared to a between-the-legs. In all other cases, it is generally a dangerous move that can result in the ball bouncing off of the dribbler's feet or a steal. Behind-the-Back Dribble The Between-the-Legs Dribble - This is a commonly used variation of the crossover in which the ball-handler bounces the ball off of the floor between his/her legs and catches it with the other hand on the opposite side of his/her body. It is used as a safer way to cross over while directly facing a defender, but requires more slowing of forward momentum than the crossover dribble. Between- the-Leg Dribble 1. Take a wide stance, knees bent and dribble the ball from one hand to the other in front of you. 2. You want the ball to almost skid on the court instead of taking a direct bounce up. 3. After running the drill in front, run it behind your back. 4. You can also run this drill to halfcourt and back. When running the drill in motion, you can dribble in front like when stationary, you can also dribble between the legs. 5. You can also run the drill in motion while dribbling behind the back. The Reverse Dribble - A reverse spin dribble is a technique used to change direction and, when done correctly, protects the ball from the defender by keeping the dribbler’s body between the defender and the ball Reverse Dribble 6  MODULE: (PATHFIT4) – BASKETBALL 2. Passing The ball is the quickest and the most effective way to get the ball from player to player. A pass is a method of moving the ball between players. Most passes are accompanied by a step forward to increase power and are the followed through with the hands to ensure accuracy. Chest Pass - this type of pass is probably the most accurate pass you can use. It is executed by holding the ball with both hands near your chest or at the level of the sternum and releasing it by extending both arms forward to make the pass. This pass goes in a straight line mostly parallel to the floor which requires a lot of fore to execute thus making it a high velocity pass. Chest Pass Bounce Pass - this type of pass is very useful when you are being heavily defended or when you are dribbling and you want to pass the ball to a teammate. This pass is executed by bouncing the ball off at an angle in between you and your ball recipient. Although this pass may look easy, it can still be a bit tricky as you need to judge the distance of your recipient along with how much strength and deflection you need to give the ball. The accuracy of this type of pass is dictated by the speed and trajectory of the ball. You can also change the trajectory of the ball to some degree by putting some spin to it. Bounce Pass Overhead Pass - this type of pass is useful when you are being marked tightly or when you are considerably taller than your defender. However, if wrongly used, it poses the risk of interception. To execute the overhead pass, you need to have both hands placed on the respective sides of the ball. You then position the ball behind your head. To make the pass, you extend your arms forward while bringing the elbows down to put more strength in the pass. 7  MODULE: (PATHFIT4) – BASKETBALL Outlet Pass – occurs after a team gets a defensive rebound. The next pass after the rebound is the outlet pass. The crucial aspect of any good pass is being impossible to intercept. Good passers can pass the ball with great accuracy and touch and know exactly where each of their teammates like to receive the ball. A special way of doing this is passing the ball without looking at the receiving teammate. Outlet Pass Behind-The-Back Pass - this type of pass is rarely used in a game unless it is used for offensive purposes such as misdirect the defender from the ball. To execute this pass, you need to cup the ball using your wrist and fingers and sling it behind you towards the recipient. Behind- The- Back Pass 3. Shooting The ball is the quickest and most effective way to get the ball from player to player. Shooting is the act of attempting to score points by throwing the ball through the basket. While methods can vary with players and situations, the most common technique can be outlined here. The player should be positioned facing the basket with feet about shoulder- width apart, knees slightly bent, and back straight. The player holds the ball to rest in the dominant hand’s fingertips (the shooting arm) slightly above the head, with the other hand on the side of the ball. To aim the ball, player’s elbow should be aligned vertically, with the forearm facing in the direction of the basket. The ball is shot by bending and extending the knees and extending the shooting arm to become straight; the ball rolls off the finger tips while the wrist completes a full downward flex motion. When the shooting arm is stationary for a moment after the ball released, it is known as follow- through; it is incorporated to maintain accuracy. Generally, the non-shooting arm is used only to guide the shot, not to power it. Players often try to put a steady backspin on the ball to deaden its impact with the rim. The ideal trajectory of the shot is somewhat arguable, but generally coaches will profess proper arch. Most players shoot directly into the basket, but shooters may use the backboard to redirect the ball into the basket. The Set Shot - he two-handed set shot was once the common way to shoot from the perimeter. Today it’s typically only used by young players who lack the strength to shoot with one hand. A free throw, 8  MODULE: (PATHFIT4) – BASKETBALL however, is basically a type of set shot, although it’s almost always performed with one hand. Use the standard shooting form, but don’t jump. Lay-up Shot - You’ll typically shoot layups from very close range after dribbling to the basket, or taking a pass near the hoop. Typical layup form involves grasping the ball with two hands, raising it in front of your face and banking it off the backboard, which all occurs while you’re in motion. A putback of a missed shot is also technically a layup. If you can jump well enough moves their arms upward to shoot. It is also sometimes known as a “granny style” shot. Lay-up Shot Protips: A lay-up that doesn’t use the backboard is called a finger roll because the ball rolls of the fingers of a ball handler’s hand and into the basket. Lay-up Shot The Underhand Shot - Underhand means that the shooter holds the ball below their waste. Underhand Shot The Jump Shot – The jumper is used most frequently for mid- to long-range shots, including three-point attempts, although you can use it from short range to gain separation from a defender. Jump straight up and use the basic shooting form. Release the ball at the peak of your jump. 9  MODULE: (PATHFIT4) – BASKETBALL Hook Shot – A hook shot in basketball is an overhand shot, typically made with one hand. Hook shots can be made while the shooter is facing the net directly or at a sideways angle. As a player, you should utilize hook shots when inside the three-point line near the lane or when you’re posting –up. Dunking - The dunk, basketball’s most spectacular shot, relies more on jumping ability than shooting skill. If you can jump high enough, and hands large enough to control the ball, leap, lift the ball above the rim and push or throw it through the net. Dunkin Blocking out and Rebounding A block is performed when, after a shot is attempted, a defender attempts to alter the shot by touching the ball. In almost all variants of play, it is illegal to touch the ball after it is in the downward part of its arc; this known as goaltending. It is also illegal to block a shot after it has touched the backboard, or when any part of the ball is directly above the rim. To block a shot, a player has to be able to reach a point higher than where the shot is released. Thus, height can be an advantage in blocking. Players at the taller power forward or center positions generally record more blocks than players at the shorter guard positions. However, with good timing and sufficient vertical leap, even shorter players can be effective at blocking shots. 10  MODULE: (PATHFIT4) – BASKETBALL The objective of rebounding is to successfully gain possession of the basketball after a missed field goal or free throw, as it rebounds from the hoop or backboard. This plays a major role in the game, as most possessions end when a team misses a shot. There are two categories of rebounds: offensive rebounds, in which the ball is recovered by the offensive side and does not change possession, and defensive rebounds, in which the defending team gains possession of the loose ball. The majority of rebounds are defensive, as the team on defense tends to be in better position to recover missed shots. Two main Defensive Strategies: 1. Zone Defense – involves players in defensive positions guarding whichever opponent is in their zone. 2. Man-to-Man Defense – each defensive player guards a specific opponent and tries to prevent him from taking action. Offensive plays are more varied, normally involving planned passes and movement by players without the ball. A quick movement by an offensive player without the ball to gain an advantageous position is a cut. A legal attempt by an offensive player to stop an opponent from guarding a teammate, by standing in the defender’s way such that the teammate cuts next to him, is a screen or pick. The two plays are combined in the pick and roll, in which a player sets a pick and then “rolls” away from the pick towards the basket. Screens and cuts are very important in offensive plays; these allow the quick passes and teamwork which can lead to a successful basket. Teams almost always have several offensive plays planned to ensure their movement is not predictable. On court, the point guard is usually responsible for indicating which play will occur. Defensive and offensive structures, and positions, are more emphasized in higher levels in basketball; it is these that a coach normally requests at a time-out to discuss. Reverse Lay-Up Shot – his is a close-up shot in basketball in which the player stands near one side of the rim, but shoots the ball underhand towards the opposite side of the rim, often using their less dominant hand. By doing so, the ball may be better protected from opponents trying to block the shot. The player usually tries to bank the ball off the backboard to complete this shot. Reverse Lay-Up Shot Tapping (Tip-In) – When a missed shot is touched just enough with the fingertips to make the ball go into the basket. Tip-ins are similar to a putback, the main difference is that a putback involves the player securing the offensive rebound, then immediately scoring (without dribbling or making a basketball move). 11  MODULE: (PATHFIT4) – BASKETBALL Tapping (Tip-In) Blocking and Rebounding – Few players will naturally move to “block out” an opponent in a rebound contest. The natural instinct of most players will be to jump to the ball and try to secure the rebound. This makes the result of each rebound contest dependent on a combination of luck (where the ball bounces) and the player that jumps the highest Blocking and Rebounding Screening - A screen or "pick" occurs when an offensive player attempts to block, or "screen", a defensive player away from the man he is guarding, thereby freeing up that offensive player for an open shot or pass. Setting good screens (or "picks") is a very important fundamental part of the game. 12  MODULE: (PATHFIT4) – BASKETBALL Direction: Read Chapter 3 and understand the question. TRUE AND FALSE ______1.
