VIOLATIONS IN BASKETBALL

A violation in basketball is called on any player who breaks or violates a rule of the game defined in the rulebook.

In addition, unlike fouls, they do not typically end up in free throws for the other team. Rather, they almost always result in a turnover. 

There are three types of violations 

1. Ball-Handling Violations

When a team is on offense, they create violations by mishandling the ball. That means dribbling in an illegal way, or dribbling somewhere you shouldn’t. This category includes:

=>backcourt violations

=>carrying (also known as palming)

=>double-dribbling

=>traveling

Traveling is when you take three or more steps without dribbling, which instantly results in a turnover. Carrying/palming, which is the same category, is a form of traveling where you dribble by grabbing the ball and then turning it over in your hand before putting it on the court.


In that same vein, double dribbling occurs when you dribble in a way that causes the ball to rest in one or both of your hands before you put it back on the floor. Dribbling with two hands at any point also causes a double dribble (and as result, a turnover).


Going backcourt, the fourth ball-handling violation, happens when you bring the ball across the half-court line and then cross it again. Once you move across half court, you can no longer go backwards unless the ball is deflected back across the line by a defender.


2-The timing violations 

3 SECONDS

Once a team has the ball in their front court, an offensive player cannot be in the “key” for more than 3 seconds. When a shot is taken, the 3 second count stops. If a player steps out of the key (with both feet) they can then re-enter the key and have another 3 seconds.


5 SECONDS

A player with the ball that has an opponent guarding them closely must pass, shoot or dribble within 5 seconds


8 SECONDS

The offensive team cannot take more than 8 seconds to move the ball from their back court into their front court.


14 SECONDS

A team that takes an offensive rebound will then only have 14 seconds in which to attempt a shot


24 SECONDS

When a team first has possession of the ball, they have 24 seconds in which to attempt a shot.


The 14 and 24 seconds violations are often not used in local or junior competitions. A separate “shot clock” is used to count this time and requires a dedicated timekeeper who just operates the “shot clock”.


3. The Other Type of Violations

There are two other kinds of violations, neither of which fall into the above categories. They are basket interference and goaltending. Both violations are two sides of the same coin, and they have to do with preventing a shot from going in (or out) of the basket.


Basket interference occurs when an offensive player touches the ball while it’s still above the rim in order to make it go in the basket. Goaltending happens when a defensive player touches the ball while it’s above the rim (or if it’s already hit the backboard) and makes it go out.


Interference results in a turnover, while goaltending awards the offensive team as many points as the shot would have been worth.


All these shall be further explained during the class.

(PHE 127) SENSE ORGANS

Image
SENSE ORGANS (READ TILL THE END) Sense organs are specialized structures in the body that detect and respond to external and internal stimuli, allowing organisms to interact with their environment. They transmit sensory information to the brain, which interprets the signals, enabling perception. Each sense organ contains specialized receptors that convert stimuli into electrical signals sent to the brain via sensory nerves . Humans have five primary sense organs: 1. Eyes (Vision) 2. Ears (Hearing & Balance) 3. Nose (Smell) 4. Tongue (Taste) 5. Skin (Touch, Temperature, Pressure, Pain) 1. Eyes (Vision)   Structure & Function:  Cornea: Transparent outer layer that refracts light.  Iris: Colored part controlling pupil size to regulate light entry.  Lens: Focuses light onto the retina.  Retina: Contains photoreceptors (rods for dim light, cones for color vision).  Optic Nerve: Transmits visual signals to the brain.   Pro...

History of Basketball

History of basketball  In early December 1891, Canadian American Dr. James Naismith , a physical education professor and instructor at the International Young Men's Christian Association Training School (YMCA) (today, Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts , USA), was trying to keep his gym class active on a rainy day. He sought a vigorous indoor game to keep his students occupied and at proper levels of fitness during the long New England winters. After rejecting other ideas as either too rough or poorly suited to walled-in gymnasiums, he wrote the basic rules and nailed a peach basket onto a 10-foot (3.05 m) elevated track. 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 with a long dowel each time.  Basketball was originally played with a soc...

EVALUATION OF TESTS AND CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION IN PHYSICAL AND HEALTH EDUCATION

EVALUATION OF TESTS AND CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION IN PHYSICAL AND HEALTH EDUCATION These criteria help determine whether a test accurately measures what it intends to measure, provides consistent results, and is appropriate for its intended use. 1. VALIDITY A test is valid if it measures what it claims to measure. Types of Validity & Examples: a) Content Validity: Ensures the test covers all relevant aspects of the subject. It Ensures the test covers all relevant components of the skill or fitness attribute. Example: A badminton skills test should include serving, footwork, and rallying—not just serving accuracy. b) Criterion-Related Validity: Assesses how well test results correlate with an external standard. It assesses how well test results predict real-world performance. Example: A 20m shuttle run (beep test) should correlate with actual cardiovascular endurance in sports like soccer or basketball. c) Construct Validity:Determines if the test measures an abstract concep...
