Period 8 Advanced 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.

1. If you shoot the ball and the ball is in the air while the other team makes a foul, your shot counts if you make it and you also get a foul shot.

2.To Have a legal guarding stance you have to have both feet on the ground and your torso must be facing the opponent. Once you have the legal guarding stance you are not required to have either both feet on the floor or continue facing the opponent.

After reading this blog, I learned that it is basket interference if the ball is touched while it is in the imaginary cylinder above the rim. I also learned that a ball that hits an official is the same as the ball touching the floor at that location.

Two things that I've learned after reading this blog are:
1. 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.
And
2. If the defender moves any part of their body outside of their vertical plane, it should be called a foul.

I learned these two rules

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.

1. When a ball is batted away it has to hit the floor in order for you to be able to dribble again. Simply losing control of the ball is not enough.

2. A defender is allowed a "vertical plane" when defending a driver. Anything in front of this plane will be considered a foul if he makes contact with the driver.

I learned that if you jump up while playing defense and put your arm out in front of you, it is a foul, even if you don't touch anybody. Also, you can move as much as you want while setting a screen, as long as your moving in the same direction as the defender you are screening.

1. I wasn't aware that there was a legal guarding stance in high school basketball and now I know that it is when you have both feet on the ground and you are facing the defender.

2. I also learned that the defender only needs to be 6 ft away from the offensive player for them to be considered guarding them. I used to think the distance was much shorter.
