Bola basket adalah olahraga bola berkelompok yang terdiri atas dua tim beranggotakan masing-masing lima orang yang saling bertanding mencetak poin dengan memasukkan bola ke dalam keranjang lawan. Bola basket sangat cocok untuk ditonton karena biasa dimainkan di ruang olahraga tertutup dan hanya memerlukan lapangan yang relatif kecil. Selain itu, bola basket mudah dipelajari karena bentuk bolanya yang besar, sehingga tidak menyulitkan pemain ketika memantulkan atau melempar bola tersebut.
Bola basket adalah salah satu olahraga yang paling digemari oleh penduduk Amerika Serikat dan penduduk di belahan bumi lainnya, antara lain diAmerika Selatan, Eropa Selatan, Lithuania, dan juga di Indonesia.
Basket dianggap sebagai olahraga unik karena diciptakan secara tidak sengaja oleh seorang guru olahraga. Pada tahun 1891, Dr. James Naismith, seorang guru Olahraga asal Kanada yang mengajar di sebuah perguruan tinggi untuk para siswa profesional di YMCA (sebuah wadah pemuda umat Kristen) di Springfield, Massachusetts, harus membuat suatu permainan di ruang tertutup untuk mengisi waktu para siswa pada masa liburan musim dingin di New England. Terinspirasi dari permainan yang pernah ia mainkan saat kecil di Ontario,Naismith menciptakan permainan yang sekarang dikenal sebagai bola basket pada 15 Desember 1891.
Menurut cerita, setelah menolak beberapa gagasan karena dianggap terlalu keras dan kurang cocok untuk dimainkan di gelanggang-gelanggang tertutup, dia lalu menulis beberapa peraturan dasar, menempelkan sebuah keranjang di dinding ruang gelanggang olahraga, dan meminta para siswa untuk mulai memainkan permainan ciptaannya itu.
Pertandingan resmi bola basket yang pertama, diselenggarakan pada tanggal 20 Januari 1892 di tempat kerja Dr.James Naismith. Basket adalah sebutan yang diucapkan oleh salah seorang muridnya. Olahraga ini pun segera terkenal di seantero Amerika Serikat. Penggemar fanatik ditempatkan di seluruh cabang di Amerika Serikat. Pertandingan demi pertandingan pun dilaksanakan di seluruh kota-kota negara bagian Amerika Serikat.
Pada awalnya, setiap tim berjumlah sembilan orang dan tidak ada dribble, sehingga bola hanya dapat berpindah melalui lemparan. Sejarah peraturan permainan basket diawali dari 13 aturan dasar yang ditulis sendiri oleh James Naismith.
Lapangan bola basket berbentuk persegi panjang dengan dua standar ukuran, yakni panjang 28,5 meter dan lebar 15 meter untuk standar National Basketball Association dan panjang 26 meter dan lebar 14 meter untuk standar Federasi Bola Basket Internasional. Tiga buah lingkaran yang terdapat di dalam lapangan basket memiliki panjang jari-jari yaitu 1,80 meter.
Jumlah pemain dalam permainan bola basket adalah 5 orang dalam satu regu dengan cadangan 5 orang. Sedangkan jumlah wasit dalam permainan bola basket adalah 2 orang. Wasit 1 disebut Referee sedangkan wasit 2 disebut Umpire.
Waktu permainan 4 X 10 menit. Di antara babak 1, 2, 3, dan babak 4 terdapat waktu istirahat selama 10 menit. Bila terjadi skor yang sama pada akhir pertandingan harus diadakan perpanjangan waktu sampai terjadi selisih skor. Di antara dua babak tambahan terdapat waktu istirahat selama 2 menit. Waktu untuk lemparan ke dalam yaitu 5 detik.
Keliling bola yang digunakan dalam permainan bola basket adalah 75 cm - 78 cm. Sedangkan berat bola adalah 600 - 650 gram. Jika bola dijatuhkan dari ketinggian 1,80 meter pada lantai papan, maka bola harus kembali pada ketinggian antara 1,20 - 1,40 meter.
Panjang papan pantul bagian luar adalah 1,80 meter sedangkan lebar papan pantul bagian luar adalah 1,20 meter. Dan panjang papan pantul bagian dalam adalah 0,59 meter sedangkan lebar papan pantul bagian dalam adalah 0,45 meter.
Jarak lantai sampai ke papan pantul bagian bawah adalah 2,75 meter. Sementara jarak papan pantul bagian bawah sampai ke ring basket adalah 0,30 meter. Ring basket memiliki panjang yaitu 0,40 meter. Sedangkan jarak tiang penyangga sampai ke garis akhir adalah 1 meter.
Panjang garis tengah lingkaran pada lapangan basket adalah 1,80 meter dengan ukuran lebar garis yaitu 0,05 meter. Panjang garis akhir lingkaran daerah serang yaitu 6 meter. Sedangkan panjang garis tembakan hukuman yaitu 3,60 meter.
Aturan dasar pada permainan Bola Basket adalah sebagai berikut: * Bola dapat dilemparkan ke segala arah dengan menggunakan salah satu atau kedua tangan. * Bola dapat dipukul ke segala arah dengan menggunakan salah satu atau kedua tangan, tetapi tidak boleh dipukul menggunakan kepalan tangan (meninju). * Pemain tidak diperbolehkan berlari sambil memegang bola. Pemain harus melemparkan bola tersebut dari titik tempat menerima bola, tetapi diperbolehkan apabila pemain tersebut berlari pada kecepatan biasa. * Bola harus dipegang di dalam atau di antara telapak tangan. Lengan atau anggota tubuh lainnya tidak diperbolehkan memegang bola. * Pemain tidak diperbolehkan menyeruduk, menahan, mendorong, memukul, atau menjegal pemain lawan dengan cara bagaimanapun. Pelanggaran pertama terhadap peraturan ini akan dihitung sebagai kesalahan, pelanggaran kedua akan diberi sanksi berupa diskualifikasi pemain pelanggar hingga keranjang timnya dimasuki oleh bola lawan, dan apabila pelanggarantersebut dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mencederai lawan, maka pemain pelanggar akan dikenai hukuman tidak boleh ikut bermain sepanjang pertandingan. Pada masa ini, pergantian pemain tidak diperbolehkan. * Sebuah kesalahan dibuat pemain apabila memukul bola dengan kepalan tangan (meninju), melakukan pelanggaran terhadap aturan 3 dan 4, serta melanggar hal-hal yang disebutkan pada aturan 5. * Apabila salah satu pihak melakukan tiga kesalahan berturut-turut, maka kesalahan itu akan dihitung sebagai gol untuk lawannya (berturut-turut berarti tanpa adanya pelanggaran balik oleh lawan). * Gol terjadi apabila bola yang dilemparkan atau dipukul dari lapangan masuk ke dalam keranjang, dalam hal ini pemain yang menjaga keranjang tidak menyentuh atau mengganggu gol tersebut. Apabila bola terhenti di pinggir keranjang atau pemain lawan menggerakkan keranjang, maka hal tersebut tidak akan dihitung sebagai sebuah gol. * Apabila bola keluar lapangan pertandingan, bola akan dilemparkan kembali ke dalam dan dimainkan oleh pemain pertama yang menyentuhnya. Apabila terjadi perbedaan pendapat tentang kepemilikan bola, maka wasitlah yang akan melemparkannya ke dalam lapangan. Pelempar bola diberi waktu 5 detik untuk melemparkan bola dalam genggamannya. Apabila ia memegang lebih lama dari waktu tersebut, maka kepemilikan bola akan berpindah. Apabila salah satu pihak melakukan hal yang dapat menunda pertandingan, maka wasit dapat memberi mereka sebuah peringatan pelanggaran. * Wasit berhak untuk memperhatikan permainan para pemain dan mencatat jumlah pelanggaran dan memberi tahu wasit pembantu apabila terjadi pelanggaran berturut-turut. Wasit memiliki hak penuh untuk memberikan diskualifikasi pemain yang melakukan pelanggaran sesuai dengan yang tercantum dalam aturan 5. * Wasit pembantu memperhatikan bola dan mengambil keputusan apabila bola dianggap telah keluar lapangan, pergantian kepemilikan bola, serta menghitung waktu. Wasit pembantu berhak menentukan sah tidaknya suatu gol dan menghitung jumlah gol yang terjadi. * Waktu pertandingan adalah 4 quarter masing-masing 10 menit * Pihak yang berhasil memasukkan bola ke ring terbanyak akan dinyatakan sebagai pemenang

Cara memegang bola basket adalah sikap tangan membentuk mangkok besar. Bola berada di antara kedua telapak tangan. Telapak tangan melekat di samping bola agak ke belakang, jari-jari terentang melekat pada bola. Ibu jari terletak dekat dengan badan di bagian belakang bola yang menghadap ke arah tengah depan. Kedua kaki membentuk kuda-kuda dengan salah satu kaki di depan. Badan sedikit condong ke depan dan lutut rileks.
Dalam menangkap bola harus diperhatikan agar bola berada dalam penguasaan. Bola dijemput telapak tangan dengan jari-jari tangan terentang dan pergelangan tangan rileks. Saat bola masuk di antara kedua telapak tangan, jari tangan segera melekat ke bola dan ditarik ke belakang atau mengikuti arah datangnya bola. Menangkap bola (catching ball) terdiri dari dua macam cara yaitu menangkap bola di atas kepala dan menangkap bola di depan dada.
Mengoper atau melempar bola terdiri atas tiga cara yaitu melempar bola dari atas kepala (over head pass), melempar bola dari dari depan dada (chest pass) yang dilakukan dari dada ke dada dengan cepat dalam permainan, serta melempar bola memantul ke tanah atau lantai (bounce pass).
Menggiring bola (dribbling ball) adalah suatu usaha membawa bola ke depan. Caranya yaitu dengan memantul-mantulkan bola ke lantai dengan satu tangan. Saat bola bergerak ke atas telapak tangan menempel pada bola dan mengikuti arah bola. Tekanlah bola saat mencapai titik tertinggi ke arah bawah dengan sedikit meluruskan siku tangan diikuti dengan kelenturan pergelangan tangan. Menggiring bola dalam permainan bola basket dapat dibagi menjadi dua cara, yaitu menggiring bola rendah dan menggiring bola tinggi. Menggiring bola rendah bertujuan untuk melindungi bola dari jangkauan lawan. Menggiring bola tinggi dilakukan untuk mengadakan serangan yang cepat ke daerah pertahanan lawan.
Pivot atau memoros adalah suatu usaha menyelamatkan bola dari jangkauan lawan dengan salah satu kaki sebagai porosnya, sedangkan kaki yang lain dapat berputar 360 derajat.
Shooting adalah usaha memasukkan bola ke dalam keranjang atau ring basket lawan untuk meraih poin. Dalam melakukan shooting ini dapat dilakukan dengan dua cara yaitu dengan shooting dengan dua tangan serta shooting dengan satu tangan.
Lay-up adalah usaha memasukkan bola ke ring atau keranjang basket dengan dua langkah dan meloncat agar dapat meraih poin. Lay-up disebut juga dengan tembakan melayang.

Teknik permainan basket * Fade Away
Fade away adalah tehnik yang mendorong badan kebelakang saat melakukan shoot, sehingga menyulitkan defender untuk menghadang bola. tehnik ini lumayan susah dilakukan buat pemain yang baru belajar basket. Bila keseimbangan badan tidak terjaga bisa-bisa terpelanting dan jatuh kebelakang. Pemain NBA yang sering memakai teknik ini adalah sang legenda basket seperti Michael Jordan dan Kobe Bryant. * Hook Shoot
Hook adalah teknik yang sangat efektif bila pemain dijaga oleh orang yang lebih tinggi dari pemain. Yaitu cara menembak dari samping dengan satu tangan. Jadi jarak antara orang yang menghadang dan pemain bisa agak jauh. Belakangan tehnik ini sering dipakai oleh Rony Gunawan Satria Muda Britama waktu melawan Garuda Bandung di Final 2009, dan keakuratan mencapai 80%. * Jump Shoot
Teknik yang butuh lompatan tinggi, dan akurasi tembakan yang bagus. Yaitu dengan melompat dan melakukan tembakan yang liar dan sulit untuk di gagalkandan . * crossover merupakan cara dribble dengan cara memantulkan bola dari tangan kiri ke tangan kanan atau sebaliknya. biasanya teknik sudah banyak di improvisasi dengan cara memantulkan bola di antara celah kaki (kebanyakan pemain internasional sudah menggunakan teknik ini) atau belakang kaki (yang paling sering menggunakan teknik ini adalah Jamal Crawford - Atlanta Hawks) * Slamdunk
Slamdunk adalah salah satu teknik yang paling populer. Sebenarnya cukup simpel, yaitu hanya memasukkan bola secara langsung ke ring dan menghempaskan tangan ke ring basket. Walaupun simpel, tapi untuk orang dengan tinggi 171 cm slam seperti ini hampir mustahil untuk dilakukan karena lompatannya tidak cukup tinggi.
Permainan basket sudah sangat berkembang dan digemari sejak pertama kali diperkenalkan oleh James Naismith. Salah satu perkembangannya adalah diciptakannya gerakan slam dunk atau menombok, yaitu gerakan untuk memasukkan dan melesakan bola basket langsung ke dalam keranjang yang bisa dilakukan dengan gerakan akrobatik yang berkekuatan luar biasa.
Ada beberapa informasi mengatakan masuknya basket bersamaan dengan kedatangan pedagang dari Cina menjelang kemerdekaan. Tepatnya, sejak 1894, bola basket sudah dimainkan orang-orang Cina di Provinsi Tientsien dan kemudian menjalar ke seluruh daratan Cina. Mereka yang berdagang ke Indonesia adalah kelompok menengah kaya yang memilih olahraga dari Amerika itu sebagai identitas kelompok Cina modern.
Informasi ini diperkuat fakta menjelang dan pada awal kemerdekaan klub-klub bola basket di sejumlah kota besar seperti Jakarta, Medan, Bandung, Semarang, DI Yogyakarta, dan Surabayasebagian besar tumbuh dari sekolah-sekolah Cina. Dari klub itu pula kemudian lahir salah seorang pemain legenda Indonesia, Liem Tjien Siong yang kemudian dikenal dengan nama Sonny Hendrawan (Pada 1967 Sonny terpilih sebagai Pemain Terbaik pada Kejuaraan Bola Basket Asia IV di Seoul, Korea Selatan. Waktu itu, tim Indonesia menduduki peringkat ke-4 di bawahFilipina, Korea, dan Jepang).
Pada 1948, ketika Negara Indonesia menggelar PON I digelar di Solo, bola basket, sudah menjadi salah satu cabang olahraga yang dipertandingkan. Ini membuktikan bahwa basket cepat memasyarakat dan secara resmi diakui Negara. Tiga tahun kemudian, Maladi sebagai Sekretaris Komite Olimpiade Indonesia (KOI) yang kemudian menjadi Menteri Olahraga, meminta Tonny Wen dan Wim Latumeten untuk membentuk organisasi bola basket. Namun akhirnya karena tuntutan kebutuhan untuk menyatukan organisasi basket, disepakati pembentukan Persatuan Bola Basket Seluruh Indonesia pada 1955, disingkat Perbasi.

...Grocery Shopping Walking through a grocery store you can find all different sorts of people. There’s the people that only need a few things and use a basket accordingly, there’s the people that have a smaller list and are not expecting to buy a lot but somehow when they get to the check out their cart is overflowing, or there’s always the person with three carts generously filled. It is the people that fill the baskets, carts and occasionally their own arms that keep a grocery store in business. Because of this, most employees are extremely polite and helpful when it comes to the customers; but that does not stop the customers from being rude not only to each other but to employees as well. The customers who need only a few things are often the rudest shoppers. Normally this is due to the fact that they are in a hurry. It seems as though they think the whole grocery store revolves around them and their few items. They weave in and out of other shoppers and cut off an employee that is trying to help another customer. When these shoppers need help finding something they are often demanding, impatient, and just plain rude. They tap their foot while an employee tries to find what they are looking, and if the employee comes back with bad news such as: they no longer carry that item, they are currently out of that item, or even they never had that item, that’s when the adult who should be mature and understanding throws a tantrum fit. They yell at the employee and demand to...

...This assignment was designed put us, the student in a situation where we are placed in the supervisor position. In this assignment put the supervisor in a position of having to pick and choose what tasks to do themselves and what tasks should be delegated out after coming in and finding their basket full of tasks that need to be dealt with. When you obtain the position of supervisor, there is usually far too much for just you to do, therefore it is important to learn what to delegate and who to delegate it to. The most important tasks should be done by the supervisor but as far as things such as someone’s vacation hours and stocking merchandise for the store, those tasks should be delegated out to the assistant manager and to the store clerks. Being a supervisor means being in a role of leadership, logic, common sense, and decision making for yourself, the employees, and for the company. The “in Basket” debate and discussion gives us and our fellow classmates the opportunity to see if we can successfully delegate out certain tasks as a supervisor at a fictitious company. The discussion between me and fellow classmates was a great one and it appeared as though everyone agreed on everything accept for different incidents. The only two incidents where I came across disagreement were in regards to task number 3, and task number 4. These are the examples in which I will be using in this paper as far as disagreeing is concerned. Task number 3 is in regards to the mall hours changing...

Prehistoric man, as early as 9,000 BC, was the first to incorporate the stencil printing technique into their surroundings, by placing his hand against the cave wall and blowing pulverized pigment around it. Examples of this early application can be found in caves in France and Spain. Today, this technique is extensively employed for decorating wallpaper, ceilings, textiles and furniture. Artist would normally use an x-acto knife to create this type of design. Also, a stenciling brush is important because they are effective in completing the design. They are round and short with stiff bristles and are used to dab the paint unto a paper, piece of fabric or bristol board. Candle wax yet another way of making a stencil design and can be placed onto the Bristol board so that the paint will not go on unwanted places.

...Exercise 7-2: “In-Basket” The role of a supervisor can vary from mentor to disciplinarian, and an important trait of an effective supervisor is the ability to distinguish between tasks that should be delegated or acted upon. Many supervisors lack the common knowledge of what is necessary to entrust his or her subordinates with assignments. This can be harmful to the department’s business objective. Therefore, informed, willing and capable of what is required of a supervisor will ensure an effectively operated department. The basics steps of delegation make the process simpler like following an instruction manual. It is a guide that every supervisor should follow. During the research conducted with other team members on a hypothetical situation involving the supervision of a retail store, a list of tasks were left for the store supervisor to either undertake or delegate to the employees. Some of the items on the list were unanimously agreed upon and certain others were not. Many factors come into play when delegating or retaining duties as a supervisor. For instance, the management pyramid within an organization may determine the length of responsibilities each department supervisor may hold. Although ideally a supervisor governs the daily responsibilities, some of them are controlled by upper management. The reluctance to assign undertakings to subordinates may fall on the company philosophy. Department supervisors like other people do not always make the correct decisions...

In the Basket

...Exercise 7-2,” In the Basket” By: Shannon Quinn Supervision and Leadership, Course Number 210 Due Date: July 8, 2012 Professor Craig Slone One task that my classmates and I agreed on was that the mall needed notification of the store hours changing due to the holiday. I believe that we all agreed to act on because it is important that the customers know when there is going to be a change. This should be done when pricing is different, the hours of the store change or any other information for that matter. People especially customers; do not like to be kept in the dark. As a customer if I see a sign about a shop that I like to go to, I will stop and read it. I think this is partly because I’m nosy, and the other part is because I want to know what is going on in the store that I spend my money in. Most of the time people are okay with changes as long as they know a head of time what is going on. Now if the store didn’t post the holiday hours and I came to the store hoping to do last minute shopping, and a customer came to it and found it closed, I’m sure they would be pretty unset. Within the discussion thread that I and two of my other classmates participated in, I learned that we disagreed on the two applications for jobs. I do believe that my attitude played a part in my decision. There were some other ones that we disagreed on, but I chose this one to do my paper on. It is very hard for me to delegate authority.

Basket Ball

...ball that is shot into a basket positioned horizontally. The objective to shoot the ball is scores which are gained by following certain rules of the game. The game is played by 2 teams constituting 5 players each who play on a marked rectangular floor with baskets on both ends. The game of basketball was invented by James Naismith in 1891. James Naismith was a physical education teacher at McGill University and later at Springfield College (then Y.M.CA.) at Springfield, Massachusetts. Under the guidance of physical education specialist, Luther Halsey Gulick, he invented basketball as an indoor sport. Basketball was originally played with soccer ball and Naismith used a peach basket (with non-hollow bottom) nailed at a height of 10 feet above ground on an elevated track. Considering the manual removal of ball from the basket a drawback, the bottom was removed to take the shape of modern day baskets. Dribbling was not a part of the game originally and evolved eventually until 1950 with balls gaining better shape from manufacturing. Also the orange ball evolved from the brown ball that was used at the beginning to be more visible. By the year 1906, the peach baskets were replaced by metal hoops with backboard. A referee tosses the ball between at the center of the court between the two players; one from each team and the player who gets hands on the ball passes it to a teammate. To score a goal, a team has to shoot the ball through the basket. A shot scored from a...

Woven Basket

...The conclusion endorsed in this argument is that the woven baskets, which are previously thought to be unique in Palean, are found to be not conform to its reputation as "Palean baskets". To substantiate(bolster) this assertion, the arguer points out evidence that archaeologists has discovered such a "Palean" basket in Lithos which is an ancient village across a river from Palea. Furthermore, he indicates that the ancient Paleans have no ability to cross this river. At first glance, the author's argument seems to be cogent, but close scrutiny reveals that it is unconvincing in many aspects. In the first place, the author unfairly assumes that no Palea's residents have ever been to Lithos for there is a river across them. While the arguer doesn't provide us sufficient materials such as geographical data or certain historical recordings to prove Palean was seperated from Lithos. Maybe they can just walk or tramp over hill and dale to Lithos. Even if the only way from Palean to Lithos is across the Brim river, the author's inference rests on the poor assumption that during thousands of years this river is always deep and broad. It is highly possible that this river is shallow and narrow or just not exit in prehistoric era. What is more, the author gratuitously mention that the ancient Paleans could have crossed the river only by boat and no Palean baskets have been found. Why should they have to come to Lithos by boat? A small raft or a simple drawbridge could be more convenient...

I noticed that many of us chose to delegate jobs like the rest room is out of order and the 130 pairs of shoes to be stocked away. These are jobs in my opinion I feel that an employee are hired for and is something that can be delegated to the other employees to do. There are mantinence and stocking and important for the emloyees to accomplish. Also there were some of us that agreed that certain jobs were important to be acted upon such as the notice from the fire department for the upcoming inspection. This is important to make sure everything is correct and up to date. If not the companies can get fines and it would not be safe for the employees in case of an emergency. A notice from head quarters about the upcoming holiday sale is also another that many of us agreed should be acted upon. This is because there is a lot to get ready and to make sure everyone is aware and knows what is going on. All fellow students had there own reasons for certain jobs being delegated or acted upon.

By all accounts, the grocery store chain has been very successful, generating four billion dollars in revenue in 2012, and making a profit of over 200 million. (Kohn, S. 8/1/2014 Market Basket Workers are Right; Retrieved from: www.wcvb.com) However, a change in leadership has brought on a temporary demise of the company, providing evidence that a great leader is the backbone upon which an organization thrives.

Under the direction of their leader, the corporation continued to expand its operations and in turn reap profits. Arthur T. Demoulas possesses many qualities that define a transformational leader.
