...an opponent through certain types physical contact is illegal and is called a personal foul. These are most commonly committed by defensive players; however, they can be committed by offensive players as well. Players who are fouled either receive the ball to pass inbounds again, or receive one or more free throws if they are fouled in the act of shooting, depending on whether the shot was successful. One point is awarded for making a free throw, which is attempted from a line 15 feet (4.6 m) from the basket. The referee is responsible for judging whether contact is illegal, sometimes resulting in controversy. The calling of fouls can vary between games, leagues and referees. There is a second category of fouls called technical fouls, which may be charged for various rules violations including failure to properly record a player in the scorebook, or for unsportsmanlike conduct. These infractions result in one or two free throws, which may be taken by any of the five players on the court at the time. Repeated incidents can result in disqualification. A blatant foul involving physical contact that is either excessive or unnecessary is called an intentional foul (flagrant foul in the NBA). In FIBA, a foul resulting in ejection is called a disqualifying foul, while in leagues other than the NBA, such a...

...World Cup Indoor Soccer Club Rules 1. ALL Restarts are direct kicks and my go in any direction (this includes, restarts when the ball goes out of bounds, beginning of each half, after each goal, fouls and penalty kicks). 2.

Red card offenses result in a “hard” Five-Minute Penalty. The player committing the foul may not re-enter the game. 5.

...into and creates contact with the defender, an offensive charging call could be made. (Therefore, it is more important if a defender is squared up and contact is made to the defender’s chest than if the defender is moving.) Is a dribble illegal if it goes over the ball handler’s head? Basketball rules states if the ball handler doesn’t “palm” the ball or place their hand under the ball, there is no dribbling violation. There is no basketball rule or restriction on how high a dribble can go. Is reaching into an offensive player's area a foul? If a defensive player “reaches in” to attempt a steal or distract the offensive player they are guarding and doesn’t create any contact, no foul should be called. Reaching in isn’t necessarily a foul until contact is created. Basketball rules state that the foul isn’t called reaching in, but holding or pushing. Is over the back a foul when rebounding a basketball? Officials should only make a foul call when displacement has occurred. Just like the basketball rules term “reaching in,” over the back is not a foul until displacement occurs - then it should be called a pushing foul. Even if a smaller player has good rebounding position against a taller player, a foul should not be called if the taller player can get the rebound without...

...for my 30 day challenge, I changed my mind many different times. When I finally thought of something that I was actually excited about, I stuck with it and decided to do it. For the 30 days I am going to play basketball every day, so I can try and improve my basketball skills. I am not only going to work on just shooting; I am also going to work on my athletic ability, jumping, passing, leadership, foul shots, and shooting. For the 30 days I will be trying many activities to improve the areas I have just listed. My research question will be: In 30 days can I improve my athletic ability, jumping, passing, leadership, foul shots, and over all shooting? I will try to improve my skills over the next 30 days by doing many things that I have done my research on and found drills and practices. While I try and improve my overall basketball skills I will also improve my overall health but I will not record it because that is not my main goal. Playing basketball for 30 days will not be hard for me because I use to play basketball every day when I was in high school however when I came to Ball State I have maybe played three times all year. I have played basketball for most of my life and I want to get back into the routine. For many people going to the gym and hitting the bag for a while is the way they go and blow off steam, but for me basketball is a way to clear my head and relax. I choose to play basketball for 30 days because I love basketball and it will relax me from all of the stress...

...skilled or they aren’t as physically or mentally tough to handle the era in which they played. They begin to question the toughness of these players, their love for the game and don’t respect the skill level of these players in the NBA today. A large amount of these former players have questioned the toughness of the current players comparing it to the toughness of the game in the 80’s and 90’s. These players in this current era are arguably just as tough or even tougher. Many former players take this stance due to the way the game is being called by referees these days. Fouls and contact is being enforced, such as flagrant fouls and technical fouls being handed out more frequently then they have been in the past. Therefore it leads to players in general being considered “soft”. But in actuality the only reason the game is softer is because the league has made an effort to actually call more fouls. So the games don’t end up into full on melees like they did in the old days. One of many ways former players talk down on the game and players today would be how they challenge players’ love of the game. One thing is for sure any athlete that makes it into a professional league of any sport has to love the game. Because at that point you’ve been...

...Free throws is the hardest shot to make in the game of basketball. Even though you only get one point if you make it, it still is the most important shot. Free throws determine the outcome of the game; win or lose, in college and professional leagues; practice free throws consistently, most of the stuggle also. To shoot a free throw correctly, you need the following: a basketball, a regular court, and a player. The first step is to get fouled so you can shoot the free throw, make sure you go up for a layup or make the other team get a bunch of fouls so you can get a one and one also. While getting ready to shoot, step off the line to catch your breath; do not rush. If your not ready to shoot the free throw just yet, let the referee know to...

...especially when you put it in the hands of a well-trained player. There are all different kinds of people that use a basketball. You have kids just starting out to people that have never played before to the finest athletes in the world. There are people whose expertise is dribbling and others who are much better at shooting. There are others that can jump and grab the ball 12 feet in the air and you have players that focus their game on dunking the basketball. I often wonder why a basketball looks to appealing when you see one sitting on the ground. I don’t think I have ever walked by a basketball without picking it up to dribble it a few times and if there was a rim, there’s no chance I’m not shooting it. A basketball is appealing to the eye. One of my favorite sights in the world is seeing a basketball perfectly swoosh through the net. I still often wonder how the most recent version of the basketball got to be the way we see it today. The basketball we have all come to know is an inflated sphere. Basketballs range in size from very small promotional items to regular sized and finally extra-large balls nearly a foot in diameter used in training exercises to increase the skill of players.(1) The standard size of a basketball in the NBA is 29.5 to 29.875 inches in circumference.(1) It always gives me a chuckle to see a basketball get stuck in the side of a rim. Why in the world would the creators of the game make sure that wouldn’t happen? It is a small flaw...

...Pokémon are different from humans in biological structure. In fact, their matter is unstable and has a certain tendency to turn into a special form of energy. This is, however, only triggered by certain radiation. This radiation is that of Apricorns, those nut-like fruits people made Pokéballs out of in ancient times. The inside of an Apricorn's shell contains energy drainers, a sort of biological energy black holes - they let out that certain radiation and they can suck energy in to their centers. Those are there to protect the Apricorns from Pokémon that might want to eat them in a very effective way - a Pokémon that cracks the shell of an Apricorn will be hit by the radiation, turn into energy, and be sucked towards the Apricorn. This can imprison smaller Pokémon inside forever - which additionally provides the Apricorn with more power to suck in more Pokémon - or if it is a powerful Pokémon, it would feel dizzy and perhaps decide the Apricorn is not good to eat. If a Pokémon actually eats the Apricorn, however, it dies and the energy drainers release the energy they contained. Different types of Apricorns, targeted as food for different kinds of Pokémon, contain different kinds of energy drainers which suck in different types of energy - usually some form which is dominant in some Pokémon and not others (such as Water Pokémon, fast Pokémon, heavy Pokémon, etc.). All Apricorns contain some drainers for all variations, though, so they can all catch anything that is weak...

...decent thing was the fact that the ball was always pumped right. Now imagine all the new, various forms of technology that has come about since 1863: computers, smart phones, smart watches, televisions, vehicles etc., it is only right that Football has a fair share of the technological advancements. From muddy fields to constantly trimming the grass before games, Astro Turf fields are the future. They don’t just save you the stress of refilling the worn out areas and constant mowing the grass, they enhance the performance of the players. Also suitable for any weather, the astro turf fields are made of plastic blades of grass that are filled with small, crumbly rubber like shavings with gives players a better grip. Another positive about this piece of technology is that it prevents unwarranted injuries that can come from unlevelled grounds or a field consisting of many holes. Moreover, technology has played a key role with the equipment used for the game. Firstly, the advancement of shin pads; they don’t just guard the shin anymore, they are now being mad with shock absorbers, reducing the impact of a tackle on that area. The shin is a very delicate part of the body, and even the advanced shin pads can’t really prevent damage from a reckless and dangerous tackle. Secondly, the ball. Different balls are made for different leagues and for different competitions within the various leagues. Officials and players complain every now and then about the balls being played with, but as of...
