if your playing a half court game your team has to take the ball back to the top before your team can shoot the ball again....you can take the ball if you dont touch him while doing it...............

You can swat the ball away if it's still making "upward progress" toward the basket. If it's coming down, swatting it away is goaltending. Just don't foul the shooter.

when you think of basketball, you should not always think that it goes by quarters and then find out that it goes by halfs and say"when did basketball switch to halfs instead of quarters?". they never did have quarters.

there would be many answers. a lot of combination of speeds and angles are possible to put the ball in the basket.

Will they play this time? I mean all aged up and wrinkled? Jordan and Dirk will win if it that so. AI maybe be fast and all but his jumpshots are not really reliable unlikke Dirk's and MJ's...Jerry West is too old now and can't even play, I think. If they'll play in their prime, once again jordan and nowitzki will win because jordan will dunk over ai and west at the same time. If MJ can't slash to the basket, he'll kick it out to Dirk for the 3. im sure the results will be the same.

Maybe you should learn and tell your friends something important: The purpose of basketball is to make baskets and not dribble!\n\nI've never heard of that need to play basketball, it's just silly. If your guys dribble to much then they just suck at playing basketball and you should play elsewhere pal.

Call for a lot of double teams...\n\nOkay seriously it depends on which guy. I'd lay off LeBron and Wade and try and make them shoot. Plus there'd be more room to draw a charge that way. I'd be all over Kobe especially if I had a good shot blocker right behind me because Kobe LIKES to shoot. I'm 6'0 with basketball shoes on so I could bother Kobe a LITTLE bit.

Basketball can be played by as few as two players. However, organized basketball games include two teams comprised of five players per team. Each team can have more than five players, but only five players per team are allowed on the court at one time.\n\nThe team's head coach determines when players go in and come out of the game. Reserve players enter the game through a process called substitution. Substitutions can only occur when play stops, such as during a timeout or when the referee calls a violation.\n\nEach player on a team is categorized by position. There are five positions on a traditional basketball team: \n    * Point guard - This player is typically the best dribbler and passer on the team. The point guard is sometimes called the floor general, which indicates the key role that the point guard plays.\n\n    * Shooting guard - The shooting guard, also called the two guard, is typically a team's best outside shooter on the team. This player flanks the point guard and moves around the court to try to create some space to take a shot that is uncontested by the opposition.\n\n    * Power forward - The power forward is usually near the basket and moves from one side of the basket to the other to try to get free from the opposition player that is guarding him. Power forwards also are skilled rebounders.\n\n    * Small forward - The small forward is typically a better outside shooter than a power forward and is usually smaller than a power forward.\n\n    * Center - Traditionally, the center is the tallest player on the team. The center's role is to establish a position near the basket to allow him/herself an easy jump shot. On defense, the center attempts to block shots and grab rebounds.

I gave your question a lot of thought, and I researched online for some offenses that might work.  I found an informative site that is the best free site I have seen with all kinds of basketball information, offenses, defenses, you name it.\n\nMaybe it will help.\nhttp://www.coachesclipboard.net/BasketballOffenses.html

The ref was correct, in my opinion.\n\nHere are some of the pertentent free throw rules for the NBA (I know, not college or high school, but I believe that they are similar):\n\na. After the ball is placed at the disposal of a free throw shooter, his attempt shall be within 10 seconds in such a way that the ball enters the basket or touches the ring before it is touched by a player. The shooter shall be within that part of the free throw circle behind the free throw line. \n\nc. A player who occupies a free throw lane space shall not touch the floor on or across the free throw lane line, nor shall any player 'back out' more than 3' from the free throw lane line. A player who does not occupy a free throw lane space must remain behind the three-point line. This restriction applies until the ball leaves the free thrower's hands. \n\nThese two rules might be slightly different for college or high school ball, but I am not sure.\n\nNow, here is the ruling on penalties levied:\n\n(6) If there is a free throw violation by each team, on a free throw which is to remain in play, the ball becomes dead, no point can be scored and play shall be resumed by a jump ball between any two opponents at the center circle. \n\nThese are NBA rules, but I believe that, though the mechanics might be a little different (jump ball, for example), the generalities are still the same for college and high school.\n\nThe shooter and the defender both violated rules, and there is no precendent for one rule or the other, and so the ball becomes dead, perhaps, in this case, being awarded to the other team?

This is absolutely true.  My high school basketball coach demonstrated this to us when the team was struggling with making free throws.  I wish I had a picture to show you to confirm this, but you'll have to take my word for it.\n\nNote:  This is true with a regular sized ball.  Actually, if you're good at math, you can prove this by measuring the diameter of a regulation sized rim and comparing it against the diameter of a basketball :)  \n\nLastly, there is one URL which also states similar belief that 2 basketballs can fit in the rim at the same time.  See source below.\n\nHope this helps!  :)
