The object is to get the ball in the other team's net to score one point.\n\nYou can hit the ball with any part of your body EXCEPT your arms/hands/shoulders.\n\nYou can't rough up the other players - that is a foul.\nYou can't step outside the boundaries - that is a foul.\nFouls are penalized by awarding the ball to the other team.\n\nThose are the basics. The details and nuances of the game can go on for pages - there are entire books written on the subject.

Lots of things. Jump training, speed training, ball handling, and shooting. Run laps, Air Alert (you can find it online), dribble in your free time, and shoot hoops also.

First of all...congrats on trying out for the team! That's great that you're willing to try something new.\n1) you have to dribble the ball when walking (bounce the ball) if you take more than to steps without dribbling then its a travel\n2) get the round thing through the round thing! \n3) there are 2 hoops. one is for your team and the other hoop is for the other team. make sure you know which direction you're going.\n4) you can't stop dribbling and then start dribbling again...its called a double dribble\n5) There are five people from your team on the court at a time. ask your coach what the different positions are that he would want you to play.\n6) Each shot is worth 2 points, unless it's outside the three point line which means its worth three points. Free-throws are worth 1 point.\n7) there are four quarters in a game. The different times of them vary a little.\n\nThere are a lot more rules, but it would take me a long time to explain all of them. I hope you make your team. Remember, coaches like it when you show them that you work hard and do what they tell you to. Just work hard and have fun!! DON'T GIVE UP!!!!

SHOOTING\n\nPractice shots that you'd take in a game. Stand still, catch and shoot. Stand still, catch, dribble and shoot. Catch while on the move and shoot. Catch while on the move and fake or just go right into the dribble and then shoot. And, creating off of fakes (while a pivot foot is planted). Make sure you square up to the basket when shooting. Both feet should be pointing at the basket, and your body should square up to it. Make sure your power is coming from your legs, not your arms. Remember to follow-through on your shot. Practice like crazy. And be intense. Don't be lazy, work hard. If you half-heartedly practice getting shots off, they won't be very effective when a tough defender is near you in a real game.\n\nPASSING\n\nBe alert. Fire quick passes that peole can handle. If someone cuts, and you fire a pass at them, make sure you're leading them to where they're running with the pass, so they don't have to slow down to catch it. After you pass, keep moving, so you're of some use in the play. If it makes sense, cut hard to the basket after you pass, in the hope that your teammate can fire a quick return pass that results in a layup because your defender relaxed for a second after you got rid of the ball. And when your teammates have the ball, create passing lanes, so they can hit you with a pass. Use your hands to create targets. If you cut, have a hand up so the passer can hit it.\n\nDRIBBLING\n\nDribble with your head up. If you have to look down while dribbling, it means you haven't practiced enough. Dribble all over town until you get used to it. Watch good point guards - they're looking forward and around while dribbling, not down. Get down low if you have to. but make sure you're seeing the floor while dribbling, or else unless you create something for yourself and score, you probably aren't helping the team. Learn to dribble with both hands. Obviously one hand will be stronger than the other, but make sure you can at least pull off basic moves with your weak hand (like driving and finishing a layup or passing with it). Watch good players and what they're actually doing with the ball and their bodies while they're dribbling the basketball.\n\nREBOUNDING\n\nYou need to box out. Most players don't know how, or just don't do it. If the shot goes up and you don't box out, the other team has just a good a chance of grabbing the board as you do. Boxing out is absolutely essential when you're on defense, or else you're going to give up lots of offensive boards. Great rebounders always box out. You should know where your opponents are while playing defense, and when a shot goes up you should instinctively face the basket while boxing the closest opponent out. Boxing out also makes it easier for your teammates to grab the rebound in case you can't. It always helps.

-5 second limit to inbounding the ball from the sidline\n-8 second limit to crossing midcourt\n-3 second limit in the key\n-24 seconds to take a shot\n\nThose are the rules that I know of; I think there's one more that I forgot to include.

A maximum of 5 fouls are allowed per game for each player .The  person who makes the next (6th) foul is not allowed to play the remaining game. He is just a spectator then after.

Please know what you are talking about before you ask question only 3 or 2 point shots in basketball. There are 4 point plays but thats the highest. \n\n     Like How to Stand\n\n     I think its hilarious that you believe that your question makes sense. The only way a ref would give you eight points if you throw it backwards from full court

Thanks.

You probably need to provide more info for an exact answer, but here goes based on my assumptions.\n\n47 normal field goals - I take normal to mean non-three pointers, so 47 * 2 = 94.\n\n23 free throws - I assume you mean that it is 23 made free throws (and not just attempted Free throws), so 23 *1 = 23\n\n12 fouls - Fouls themselves have no impact on scoring. I will count them as 0 points.\n\nThus you have 94 + 23 + 0 = 117 points

If you are taking longer shots toward the basket, then you will want to learn a jump shot. You jump then shoot the ball before you land. One hand holds the ball steady and the other pushes it toward the basket. You will also want your hand that pushes the ball to fall down giving the ball a rotation. \nIf you are taking higher percentage shots or shots closer to the basket, you will want to learn how to do post up moves. Plant your pivot foot (the foot you can't move) Depending on what foot you hold use the other foot to maneuver around your opponet and make a move for the basket. \n\nYou can also gain position on your guard by backing up toward the basket and then turn and shoot a quick jumpshot, or if you are close enough bank it off the glass for a layup.\n\nLayups are very important in basketball. You must be able to lay the ball on the glass so that it falls right into the basket. It is the highest percentage shot that can be done besides the dunk.\n\nWhen you pass the ball you want to either bounce it to a teammate or throw it. These throws need to be at least chest high. If you bounce it make sure that you aren't bouncing it from too far a distance.\n\nDribbling the ball is very important. You can't move down the court or anywhere on the court without dribbling the ball as you walk or run. If you pick up the ball after dribbling you can't start dribbling again. If you do it is called a double dribble and will result in a turnover to the other team. \n\nIf you catch a pass from someone you can move one foot and the other becomes the pivot. You can dribble anytime you want to even after using your pivot as long as you haven't dribbled yet.\n\nHave fun practicing! :) Watch the NCAA tourament and you will learn alot about ball handling and plays that can be run. Pick and Roll, Give and Go. All these things you should be able to watch and get a better understanding for. :)\n\nHope some of these things helped :)

shoot the ball 1000 times every day, work on your passing.  also you got to be smart, if your a shooting guard your probably smaller than most other players so you have to make up for your size by shooting and being smarter than the other players.
