What is the difference between NBA rules, the NCAA basketball rules and NY high school basketball rules?
361177
There are many differences between NBA, NCAA, and Ny High School Basketball rules. First of which is length and division of games. NBA and High School divide the game into quarters, while NCAA has only halves. Eligibility is different between all three and is way to complex to describe here. As far as the simple flow of the game, the NBA has some complex rules regarding zone defense that does not apply to NCAA and High School. In short there are differences in number of timeouts, number of fouls, where three point line is, and where the ball may be inbounded after stops in play. There may sometimes be different interpretations of rules, however a walk is a walk, a foul is a foul, and cussing out the referee will get you a technical nearly everyy time.

Baseball around the world is played under three major rules codes, which differ only slightly. The North American professional leagues and many amateur leagues use the Official Baseball Rules, which are published to the public by The Sporting News; U.S. collegiate and college-age play is often covered by the baseball rulebook of the NCAA; and U.S. high school and high school-age baseball is governed by the NFHS rules. IBAF international teams, most leagues outside North America, and youth baseball organizations such as Little League, PONY League, and Cal Ripken League all play under slightly modified versions of the Official Baseball Rules.\n\nUnlike many other sports, the Official Baseball Rules have remained largely static during the modernization of the game. This is evidenced in much esoteric or awkward language in the rulebook; also, rules experts such as Chris Jaksa and Rick Roder have identified over 50 outright errors in the book, mostly concerning rare or subtle differences. Many baseball players, fans, and administrators view the rules and traditions of professional baseball as time-tested and nearly sacrosanct. The designated hitter rule, first introduced to play over 30 years ago in 1973, is still subject to lively debate and has been adopted by only one of the two American major leagues—though almost all other leagues around the world have adopted it. In fact, NFHS rules allow the designated hitter to bat for any position. In contrast to the Official Baseball Rules, the NFHS is continually refining and updating its rule book to meet the needs of the United States high school game. The NCAA updates its rulebook less often the NFHS, but still more current.\n\nIn Japan, if a regular-season game is tied after nine innings, only three extra innings may be played. The accepted codes of etiquette also differ in Japanese baseball, though these are not written in official rules.\n\nOther major differences often center around additional safety rules. Most amateur leagues prohibit malicious contact by runners, are stricter on interference calls, and require double-earflap helmets.\n\nFor an overview of the rules themselves, see Main article: baseball, the baseball rules category below, or each individual rule book

The three-point line is generally an arc at a set radius from the basket. In international basketball, the three-point line is 6.25 meters (20 ft 6 in) from the basket. U.S. college basketball specifies a distance of 19 feet, 9 inches (6.02 m) from the basket, also used in U.S. high schools. In the NBA, the arc is 23 feet, 9 inches (7.24 m) from the basket, but near the sidelines, three-point line is straight and parallel to the sideline in order to allow room between the three-point line and the sideline. Hence, the distance varies near the sidelines; it is 22 feet (6.72 m) at its closest point in the corner.

it was instituted on october 17 2005 here is some info on it.\n\nNEW YORK -- NBA commissioner David Stern spoke out for the first time on the specifics of the league's new off-the-court dress code on Tuesday.\n\n\n\nOTL: DRESS BLUES \nThe NBA has instituted a new dress code for all its players. What is Commissioner David Stern trying to accomplish? Is he stepping on players rights to choose how they want to dress? Is Stern sending a message about the image of the league and its players? Bob Ley explores the issues on Outside the Lines (tonight, ESPN, 12:40 a.m. ET/9:40 p.m. PT).\n \n\nDespite objections from players like Allen Iverson, who said he will fight to wear clothes in which he is most comfortable, Stern said he was "certain that it will be complied with." \n\n\n\nAlthough Stern wouldn't say exactly how he would enforce the new regulations -- which, among other things, require injured players seated on the bench to wear a sports jacket and outlaw chains, pendants or medallions over the player's clothes while on team or league business -- he did say that the league "will use a broad range of authority" to enforce compliance.\n\n\n\nNBA Dress Code \nIn a memo issued Monday, the NBA set forth a "minimum" dress code starting with the 2005-2006 season. The following highlights are excerpted from the memo: \n1. General Policy: Business Casual \nPlayers are required to wear Business Casual attire whenever they are engaged in team or league business. "Business Casual" attire means:\n•  A long or short-sleeved dress shirt (collared or turtleneck), and/or a sweater.\n•  Dress slacks, khaki pants, or dress jeans. \n•  Appropriate shoes and socks, including dress shoes, dress boots, or other presentable shoes, but not including sneakers, sandals, flip-flops, or work boots.\n\n\n2. Exceptions to Business Casual\nThere are the following exceptions to the general policy of Business Casual attire:\na. Players In Attendance At Games But Not In Uniform\nPlayers who are in attendance at games but not in uniform are required to wear the following additional items when seated on the bench or in the stands during the game:\n•  Sport Coat.\n•  Dress shoes or boots, and socks.\n\n\n3. Excluded Items \nThe following is a list of items that players are not allowed to wear while on team or league business:\n•  Sleeveless shirts.\n•  Shorts.\n•  T-shirts, jerseys, or sports apparel (unless appropriate for the event (e.g., a basketball clinic), team-identified, and approved by the team).\n• Headgear of any kind while a player is sitting on the bench or in the stands at a game, during media interviews, or during a team or league event or appearance (unless appropriate for the event or appearance, team-identified, and approved by the team).\n• Chains, pendants, or medallions worn over the player's clothes.\n• Sunglasses while indoors.\n• Headphones (other than on the team bus or plane, or in the team locker room).\n\n \n\n"If they are really going to have a problem, they will have to make a decision about how they want to spend their adult life in terms of playing in the NBA or not," Stern said.\n\n\n\nStern said he believed that much of the recent criticism over the league-imposed rules had to do with the fact that the players didn't know the specifics, which were released in a memo to the teams on Monday.\n\n\n\nCalling the rules "quite liberal and easygoing," Stern even joked that the dress code is something that "even [Dallas Mavericks owner] Mark Cuban can comply with." But Cuban, who often wears T-shirts and jeans to games, told ESPN.com that there was "no chance, no way" that he would comply with the league's off-the-court dress code for its players. Sleeveless shirts are not allowed under the policy.\n\n\n\nIverson, whose 'do rag will now be banned, recently told the Philadelphia Daily News that "just becau

Basketball is played by two teams of five players each on a rectangular court, generally 50 by 94 feet for college and professional teams, 50 by 84 feet for high school players. (These dimensions are called "ideal" in the rules; they are not definitely prescribed, and high school teams often have smaller courts.) The court is divided into halves by the halfcourt line.\n\nAt the center of a court is the center jump circle, and at either end of the court, 4 feet from the end line, there is a basket, a rim 18 in in diameter and 10 feet above the floor, from which hangs a net of white cord 15 to 18 in long. Behind each basket is a backboard. For college and professional play, it is a glass rectangle 72 in wide by 48 in high; high schools may use a fan-shaped backboard 54 in wide. Beneath each basket a 12-foot lane (16 feet in professional play) is marked, ending at the free throw line, which is 15 feet from the basket. The free throw circle is inscribed around the line.\n\nThe 3-point line is an arc 19 feet, 9 inches from the basket in college basketball, 20 feet, 6 inches under international rules. In the NBA, the line is 23 feet, 9 inches from the basket for most of its length but only 22 feet away in the corners.\n\nThe basketball is spherical, 29 ½ to 30 inches in circumference and 20 to 22 ounces in weight. When dropped from a height of 6 feet a properly inflated ball will bounce to a height of 49-54 inches.

NBA are more exciting games because it is played at a higher level with greater athletes. \n\n     But March Madness is more exciting than the NBA Playoffs. In NBA its best of 7. \n\n     But in March Madness every game counts. You have one shot. You cant fall and get back up and make up for it. There is more upsets. Its all how you try in that one game. \n\n      In NBA PLayoffs if the Knicks beat the Pistons the Pistons would blow them out the next 4 games. \n  \n       It would be so cool if it was single elimination in the NBA.

i dont really get your question at all.... but if you are using the easy easier and easiest format when you are comparing between multiple things. you use easy when you are talking about something in general. "basketball is easy".then you use easier when you are talking between to things. "Basketball is easier than football". Then the last format when comparing between something and two or more things. "basketball is the easiest out of all sports".

1. Supposedly because the new ball has better grip and feel, eliminates the need for a break-in period, which is needed for leather balls, and has consistant characteristics from ball to ball.\n\n2. The league says the tights ban is because they don't like the look of the tights and thought players wore them as some sort of fashion statement. The league wants the look of players on the court to be consistant. They've also banned players from wearing rubber wrist bands that have writing on them like the players name.\n\n3. The Bulls have their own team rules, and one of those rules is that players don't wear headbands (the Utah Jazz have the same team rule). Players can be fined, benched and suspended fo breaking team rules. Teams have their own reasons for having team rules, such as putting out a particular image, as a show of team unity, etc. There's nothing wrong with wearing a headband, but players need to be aware of their teams rules and follow them. The flap with Wallace started because he says he didn't know about these rules at the time he signed with the team.

These links should help.\n\nThe rules page:\nDon't try to read the rule book!  But check out some of the other sections on that page.  \n\nIt would be handy to print out the list of fouls on the "Official Referee Hand Signals Illustrated" page.  Don't print out the drawings, but just the list of fouls.  You can learn the hand signals as time passes.\n\nThe third link is to a book at Amazon.  You might look for it or others at your local public library.  Also, notice that there are some other introductory basketball books recommened.

basketball you shoot into a hoop, handball you shoot into a net.  Basketball you must dribble, handball you must pass the ball around.

Visit http://www.nysphsaa.org/. Look for the link that says "Officials Coordinating Federation" and click on it. There is information for you to contact the representative for girls basketball referees.\n\nUsually, becoming a high school official involves paying a fee and taking a test to show that you know the rules. Once you pass the test, you are eligible to officiate for that school year. The procedure is similar in other states.\n\nGood luck in becoming an official! I suggest you talk to other officials in your area. They are a good source of information and will help you as you begin your officiating career. I just became an basketball official in Oklahoma, and the officials in my local association have been a huge help in getting started.

Softball is much like baseball - hit the ball and run the bases correctly, and  you win the game.  Basketball is a dance where you seek to impose the "rhythm" of YOUR game onto the other team - a little more difficult but utimately much more rewarding

Their are mulitple rules in basketball, I was reading the NBA(National Basketball Association) rules and it takes up like 6 full pages. Be aware that rules depend on where ur playing, Street, College, and NBA have a very distingished set of rules, similar but different. \n\nRules change every few years, but not commonly. In the NBA, the rules are now much stricter than they were 50 years ago.
