Period 7 Basketball

Due Date: Wednesday, December 15th


Below is a list of high school basketball rules. For your blog this week tell me 2 things you learned about basketball after reading this blog.


High School Basketball Rules: Various Definitions


1. A ball that touches a player or official is the same as the ball touching the floor at that location

2. A ball handler, who dribbles from the backcourt toward the frontcourt, is only in the frontcourt once the ball and both feet pass the half court line.

3. Basket interference occurs once the ball in on or within the basket and a player touches the ball, the net, or any part of the basket.

4. High School Basketball rules state that basket interference also occurs when the ball is touched while it is in the imaginary cylinder above the rim.

5. Interference can also occur if a player puts their arm up through the cylinder of the rim to hit the ball.

6. Blocking is illegal when it impedes the movement of the opponent when they have the ball or if they do not have the ball.

7. Charging is illegal when there is contact caused by pushing or moving into a player’s torso.

8. High School Basketball Rules states that closely guarded occurs when an offensive players is in possession of the ball and their opponent/defender is within 6 feet of them.

9. When a player attempts a shot and one of their teammates commits a foul, there is no continuous motion if the shot has not been released. If the ball has been released and is in flight, there should be continuous motion on the play.

10. High School Basketball Rules states that a dribble is allowed after it is batted into the air, only if the ball is allowed to hit the floor before the ball handler’s hands.

11. An intentional foul should be called on fouls used to keep the clock from starting. These fouls are when the defenders create contact away from the ball or not playing the ball. High School Basketball Rules also states an intentional foul should be called when a player causes excessive contact with an opponent.

12. When guarding an opponent, it is an act of placing the body in the path of the offensive ball handler. The maximum distance to be away from an offensive player is 6 ft, but there is no minimum distance as long as contact is not made to impede the offensive player.

13. High School Basketball Rules states that a legal guarding stance is when the defender has both feet on the floor and they are facing the ball handler.

14. Incidental contact between two opponents should be considered incidental when it does not interfere from their normal movements. A foul should not be called.

15. When setting a screen, high school basketball rules states: the screener may face in any direction, time and distance are relevant, the screener must be stationary except when moving in the same path and direction as the defender.

16. When a screener approaches a defender from the side or front, the screener can be anywhere as long as contact is not made.

17. High School Basketball rules states that a screener that comes up to the defender from behind, the screener needs to give the defender a distance of one normal step backward without contact.

18. When a screener wants to set a screen on a moving defender, they must allow enough time and distance for the defender to avoid the screen.

19. High School Basketball rules states that the principle of “verticality” need to be preceeded by a legally defensive guarding position.

20. From a legal defensive stance, a defender my rise or jump vertically (occupying their vertical plane).

21. The defender’s arm may be raised (within their vertical plane) as the defender is on the floor or if they jump in the air.

22. If the defender moves any part of their body outside of their vertical plane, it should be called a foul.

Reading the rules i learned that the legal stance of guarding a player must be with two feet on the ground and also that defenders cant move any part of their body outside of their own vertical plane without being a foul.

After reading this blog, I learned that when defending, moving any part of the body outside of his or her vertical plane is a foul (Rule 22). I will be aware of the rule from now on when playing games. Moreover, I also learned that charging is illegal when there is contact caused by pushing or moving into a player's torso (Rule 7). Until now, I often used charging by moving into a player's torso to get through the defense, not knowing that it is considered a foul. From now on, I will be careful not to commit illegal charging.

After reading this blog I learned that charging is illegal when there is contact caused by pushing or moving into a player’s torso. Another thing I learned was that if the defender moves any part of their body outside of their vertical plane, it should be called a foul. These two high school basketball rules I was unaware of prior to reading this blog.

if a defender does not jump straight up, it is considered a foul.

when a screener goes to a defender , he can be anywhere as long as he does not touch the defender

I learned that A ball that touches a player or official is the same as the ball touching the floor at that location although i don't completely understand the rule. I also learned that Incidental contact between two opponents should be considered incidental when it does not interfere from their normal movements. A foul should not be called.

i learned that if a defender moves a part of their body outside of their vertical plane, then it is a foul. i also learned that "closely guarded" means within 6 feet

there can be an interference if the person touches any part of the basket. Also i learned that it is a foul if there is a person shooting and the defender does not jump vertically, as in they jump at an angle.

After reading the rules I learned that basket interference is called when a player blocks a shot when its in the imaginary cylinder above the rim. Also i did not know that in high school basketball closely guarded is called when the defensive player is within 6 feet of the ball handler.

I learned from reading these regulation rules, if a referee is touched with the ball the play is not dead it continues like it hit at a random floor location. I also learned that both your feet and the ball need to be past half court to be considered in the front court and have no chance at a ten second violation.
