History

In December 1891, Canadian AmericanDr. James Naismith, a physical education professor

and instructor at the International (YMCA)

(today, Springfield College) in USA),.

he wrote the basic rules

James incorporated these rules from a children'sgame called "Duck on a Rock", and he called the

new game "Basket Ball".

Used a peach basket

In contrast with modern basketball nets, this peach basket retained its bottom,

and balls had to be retrieved manually after each "basket" or point scored; this

proved inefficient, however, so the bottom of the basket was removed, allowing

the balls to be poked out.

Continued.

Passing the ball was the primary means of ball movement.

Dribbling was not part of the original game except for the "bounce pass" to

teammates.

Dribbling was eventually introduced but limited by the asymmetric shape of

early balls. Dribbling only became a major part of the game around the 1950s, as

manufacturing improved the ball shape.

The first official game was played in the YMCA gymnasium in Albany, New

Yorkon January 20, 1892 with nine players.

By 18971898 teams of five became standard.

generally the team's best shooters, and are very

often the leading scorers on their teams.

Strategy

With the game strategies also evolve. In the 1990s and early 2000s, teams played

with more "isolation".

Nowadays, teams tend to play with more teamwork.

There are two main defensive strategies:zone defense and man-to-man defense.

In a zone defense, each player is assigned to guard a specific area of the court.zone defenses are sometimes used in particular situations or simply to confuse

the offense with an unexpected look.

In a man-to-man defense, each defensive player guards a specific opponent.

Man-to-man defense is generally preferred at higher levels of competition, as it

is intuitively easier to understand and avoid mismatches between players whoplay different positions.

Strategy

Princeton offense an offensive strategy which emphasizes

constant motion, passing, back-door cuts, and disciplined

teamwork.

1-3-1 defense/offense

Box-and-one defense A combination defense in which four

defenders play zone in a box formation and the fifth defenderguards one player man-to-man.

Continuity offense pattern of movement, cuts, screens and

passes that eventually leads back to the starting formation, and

repeats.

Man-to-man defense A defense in which each player guards a

single opposing player. See also zone defense.

Motion offense Category of offense involving a series of cuts

and screens to create the best possible shot, with most or all

offensive players moving simultaneously.

Nellie ball a fast-paced offense relying on smaller, more athletic

players who can outrun their opponents and make more three-

point attempts.

Run and gun combined offense and defense in which the teamapplies constant full-court pressure, while moving the ball forward

as quickly as possible and taking the first available shot, often a

three-pointer.

Shuffle offense

Triangle offense An offensive strategy with the goal of

exchanging three (sometimes all five) positions, creating spacing

among players and allowing each one to pass to four teammates.

Triangle and Two Defense Similar to a box-and-one, except that

in this variation, three defenders (usually the frontcourt players)play zone in a triangular formation and the other two defenders

(usually the guards) play man-to-man.

Shooting

Shooting is the act of attempting to

score points by throwing the ball

through the basket, methods varying

with players and situations.

Players often try to put a steadybackspin on the ball to absorb its

impact with the rim.

Players may shoot directly into the

basket or may use the backboard to

redirect the ball into the basket.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Basketball_shot.jpg


15/18

Types of shots

The set-shot is taken from a standing position, with neither footleaving the floor, typically used for free throws, and in other

circumstances.

The jump-shot is taken in mid-air, the ball released near the top of

the jump. This provides much greater power and range, and it also

allows the player to elevate over the defender. Failure to release the

ball before the feet return to the floor is considered a traveling

violation.

Another common shot is called the lay-up. This shot requires the

player to be in motion toward the basket, and to "lay" the ball "up"

and into the basket, typically off the backboard (the backboard-free,

underhand version is called afinger roll).

16/18

The most crowd-pleasing and typically highest-percentage accuracy

shot is the slam dunk, in which the player jumps very high and

throws the ball downward, through the basket whilst touching it.

A back-shot is a shot taken when the player is facing away from the

basket, and may be shot with the dominant hand, or both; but there is

a very low chance that the shot will be successful. A shot that misses both the rim and the backboard completely is

referred to as an air-ball.

A particularly bad shot, or one that only hits the backboard, is called

abrick.

17/18

Rebounding

The objective of rebounding is to successfully gainpossession of the basketball after a missed field

goal or free throw.

There are two categories of rebounds:

offensive rebounds: in which the ball is recovered by

the offensive side and does not change possession,

and

defensive rebounds: in which the defending team

gains possession of the loose ball.
