Position eligibility in basketball is always a little stranger than it is in other sports. Part of it might be that the position designations are a little iffy at times. Teams don't always have two guards, two forwards and a center on the floor. Besides, I don't think Yahoo has any set minimums for position eligiblity for hoops. It just is whatever they say it is. You might petition their fantasy sports people to see about getting this player's eligibility changed. If it's the player that I'm thinking of, I imagine quite a few other people have had the same complaint.

basketball. When you shoot the ball to make a basket, the force with which it is thrown, combats with gravity. This determines at what point the ball will start to fall towards the basket.

have the other big man set you pics, or go high low have the other big man set up out by the free throw line and you guys can rotate, also the guards need to do thier job of swinging the ball to get the defense moving, id say have one guard be in the corner and pass it to him and hopefully that will bring one of the guys playing d downlow out to cover him and open things up. other then that id just say work on your short jumper.

Offensively, you need to pass the ball a lot.  Mostly use isolation plays with the player who is best at ball-handling.  Sometimes you should have the biggest player come to the perimeter to set a screen for your best shooter.  And sometimes you just need to feed the big man and let him work the lane.  The key is to have a lot of ball movement.  Everyone needs to keep running and moving.\nDefensively, you should play a 2-1 zone.  You should have two smaller players on the perimeter and stick on those sides until you get down low.  The big-man will be down low to stop any drives and get any rebounds.  The big key here is all players must converge to the ball.  When the ball is on the right side of the court, all players need to be on the right side of their zones.  This zone takes practice to master.  If the opponents find holes in your zone multiple times, match up man-to-man with them by size.\n\nThese should give you a start and using those bases you should be able to branch off from there.

focus on executing simple fundamentals - these are the only things you can consistently control in a game.  See yourself in the flow of the game starting from \n1. rebounding or stealing the ball to gain possession - anticipate and screen out. \n2. offense - ball handling, passing, shooting\n3. defense - moving your feet, seeing man and ball, communicate, anticipate, help and recover. \n\nthe cycle repeats over and over so see yourself doing it like an olympic skier sees the course before skiing down it.

Depending on the height of your teammates, you'll probably play forward or center. And depending on your teams offense, you might not even have a center.\n\nYou should practice:\n1) Posting-up\n2) After you catch the ball posting-up, try dribbling backwards and turning and shooting with the ball over your head.\n3) Practice hook shots and bank shots with both hands.\n4) Watch your feet and make sure you don't travel, many big guys under the hoop travel.\n5) Defensively, just keep your man away from the basket. Being able to block shots, block out for rebounds is an obvious plus.

Util guys are regular players\nbut in that slot you can put any position player.\nSo if you wanted to put your extra center, shooting guard there, its fine.

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.
