The Rules of Basketball- Basketball rules

Basketball and simple and complex at the same time. In the end - it all depends on your level of play and, perhaps, in this manifestation of his appeal. One reason for the popularity of basketball is that to learn to play it relatively easy. Rules can even understand the first time, although, of course, they have their subtlety, complexity and nuance.


It would not sound paradoxical, but the goal of the game of basketball can be formulated with the help of seven simple words: " Who is gaining more points - and he wins . " That's it. Points are calculated as follows:

• free throw for one point is accrued;
• for the throw, producing limits of 3-point line are awarded 2 points;
• for the throw from 3-point line - 3 points.

Thus, we can assume (by the way, often on the street think throws by 1 and 2 points, free throws and did not make their way, but instead the ball is put a throw or end line), now a few words about the basic rules of the game of basketball. 

Most Interestingly, most of the rules of basketball say that you can not do, and what you can - only a small part of them. So, for those who are just starting to play basketball, would be enough for the following rules:

The ball can not be beat feet or with his fist, and keep the ball in both hands at the same time;
you can not push the player with the ball, hitting him on the arms, put the steps and perform such acts; you can not run with the ball in his hands, if you owned the ball and decided to take it in two hands, the more you need, or throw it into the ring, or otpasovat partner (with the ball in his hands after doing you can do 2 steps). If you start to conduct again - it will be considered a violation of the rules and the ball goes into the possession of the other team;

• The ball goes out of bounds if the player holding them intrudes foot outside the site, or if he beats the ball to the floor outside the site;
• Jumping with the ball in his hands is not allowed. If you jumped with the ball in his hands, then you need to throw a touchdown on a ring or pass the ball to a teammate. Well, in a pinch, just throw it somewhere. If you jumped with the ball in his hands and landed with the ball - then the ball goes to the other team. (I'm not specifically talking about the so-called "napryzhke" because for beginners this element will cause a lot of controversy);
• The game may continue until a certain account (11, 15, 21 points) or time (2 periods of 10-15 minutes, or 4 periods of 7-10 minutes). Time is mainly due to the basic physical training novice players, which basically can not qualitatively running back for a long time, so it is often for students and novice players make 2 periods of 10 minutes.

Here, in general, such a set of rules of basketball will be enough to master the basics of the game. Now, let's move on to the rules for the more experienced athletes.
In fact, the entire basketball is divided into two streams (or two groups): American and European. And that is the European basketball all the time trying to catch up in their development American, regularly changing the rules of the game, trying to bring them closer to our colleagues from the United States. By the way, in one of the articles you can read about the latest changes in the rules of basketball . European basketball, and therefore its rules, directs FIBA - International Basketball Federation, founded back in 1932 in Rome. The first countries that created this federation were: Argentina, Italy, Greece, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland and Portugal, and then the organization called " International Amateur Basketball Federation . " Yes, indeed, the entire first European amateur basketball was called, and the only American athletes were considered professionals. In 2000, the organization changed its name, removing his name from the word "amateur", but the acronym has remained, for sure, as a tribute to tradition. The latest edition of the rules of the game of basketball is the version of 17 April 2010, adopted in the town of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The rules of basketball is effective from October 1, 2010, and it is for them to conduct all official competitions in basketball, including the European Championship and the World Basketball Championship. By the way, the official basketball rules are set out on page 93, which describes in detail each element of basketball. For example, the first paragraph of the first article tells us what is the game of basketball, "In basketball played by two (2) teams, each of which five (5) players. The goal of each team is to shoot the ball into the opponents' basket and prevent the other team to throw it in the trash. " However, despite such a detailed description of the rules of the game of basketball, every day of the players there are certain questions about the interpretations of the rules of basketball. Indeed, what should be contacted in order to be able to easily fix an offensive foul? Which blokshot is correct, and what you have to declare a foul? In general, digging up the Internet, I found an interesting dokumentik called " official interpretation of the official rules of basketball in 2010 . " On page 41 of the manual provides information on how exactly you need to understand some rules of basketball. What else is cool is the fact that the rules of basketball and the interpretations of the text is highlighted in yellow, which means that this item is either new, or - he has changed in the new edition. That is, the coach and immediately be able to assess the extent and nature of changes in the rules of basketball.
