Basketball how to, History, and Rules How to Play Basketball Basketball is a team sport, where the object of the game is to score points by passing a ball through a 10 ft high hoop. Players can advance the ball up court by dribbling or passing. History Basketball was invented by Dr. James Naismith in Dr. Naismith, the physical education professor at International Young Man's Christian Association Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, sought to create an indoor game to keep students fit during the long New England winters. The first games of basketball were played with a peach basket with no bottom. Rules The game of basketball is played between two teams, five players to a side, on a court 94 ft long and 50 ft wide, with two ten ft basketball hoops on either side The time varies depending on the level of play. The game begins with a jump ball at half court. Each team is assigned a basket to shoot. Teams switch baskets at halftime.

Rules Cont. Players can advance the ball up court by dribbling, passing, or shooting the ball. Players can only use one hand to dribble. Once a player has dribbled and caught the ball with two hands they cannot dribble again. Dribbling again results in a "double dribble" violation, and the opposing team receives the ball out-of-bounds. Similarly, if a player walks with the ball it is a "traveling" violation, and the opposing team gets the ball. An offensive player who stands in the key for more than three seconds is guilty of a "three second" violation, and the ball goes to the other team. When a ball goes out-of- bounds, the team that did not touch the ball last gets possession. Teams score points by shooting the ball into the basket. Each basket inside the three point line is worth two points, and each basket outside the three point line is worth three points. If a player is fouled while shooting the ball, they go to the free throw line to shoot one, two, or three foul shots (depending on if they made the basket, and if they were shooting a two or three point shot). Foul shots are shot with no defense, and count as one point. After a made basket, the ball switches possession, and the team that was scored on, needs to pass the ball in from out-of-bounds.

Rules Cont. Players "foul out", and must leave the game, if they acquire five or six fouls (depending on level of play). A player who has fouled out may be replaced by a player on the bench. Substitutions can be made when a player fouls out, on foul calls, and timeouts. Players acquire fouls by pushing, holding, reaching in, setting a moving screen, knocking over a stationary defensive player, and going over the back. Players receive flagrant fouls for unnecessary and /or excessive intentional contact. A flagrant foul results in the other team receiving two shots and possession of the ball. A player fouls out with two flagrant fouls. After five to seven team fouls in a quarter (depending on the level of play), teams begin shooting free throws on every foul.
