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?

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

One player shoots the ball from any spot on the court.  If he makes it, everybody else must make the same shot.  If they all make it, nothing happens, and the process starts over again with the first person taking a new shot.  If any player misses, he or she gets the letter H, and the next player takes a new shot.  The first player to get HORSE loses.  If you want to get more complex, the first shooter can call "Glass" or "Swish" before his shot, in which case he and all subsequent players must bank or swish the shot, or else it counts as a miss.  The game is sort of hard to explain in words though, and your best bet is to find someone who knows the rules and actually learn while playing.  If this is not possible, I hope my directions help.

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.

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...............

I'm a basketball player myself and I know that the 3 point shot is the hardest to make. What I did to consistently hit the rim on 3s, was slowly shoot farther away from the foul line. Once I developed strength and the ability to shoot further away from the basket, I just practiced my 3s. A 3 pointer is almost like a foul shot except that you're jumping and that it's a longer shot. \n\nIt's like a foul shot because you have to keep your form and it's all about muscle memory. If you keep shooting free throws, you'll be almost automatic. Here's a drill I do at the foul line to improve. I do best out of 10 sessions. I would shoot 10 free throws and see how many I make. Then, I'd start over again. I probably shoot 100 free throws when I go out and practice. See, it has made  me become a FT shooter and that has helped me with my 3s too. Because once you're used to shooting FTs, you can apply the same drill to the 3 pointer. I hope this helps, but here's a website that talks about shooting a basketball in general:\nhttp://www.mcpasd.k12.wi.us/~kms/webfolder01_02/webwj13335/index.htm

Get some video of J.J. Redick's shot and copy it exactly. His shot is perfect and so fundamental so it would be good for you to base your shot on his.

you gotta SHOW them your moves.....  seeing is believing.   Most of the time, the shorter guys aren't posts, b/c it's hard to get a rebound, and shoot over taller guys.  But, hey, if you CAN do all you say just show them your stuff and they will start to appreciate your versatility.
