ground shot is any bird on the ground or if it's flying low enough that the ground is behind it if you shot.  people are on the ground when they are hunting.\n\nno shoot zone/area.  this is when you are walking in a line side by side with other people.  you generally can shoot 45 degrees to the left and right from straight out in front of you.  any more and you are firing too close to someone else.\n\nthe no shot safety zone is the region behind your line of hunters.  nobody shoots behind.

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?

Pick two or three spots on the floor, and practice from only those spots... when you're learning a shot like this, it's not necessary to be able to shoot it from everywhere on the court.. just one spot on each side of the lane and one spot IN the lane...\n\nAlso, you should practice shooting both left and right handed hook shots..once you master the shot with either hand, NO ONE will be able to guard you!  Good Luck!

basketball, game played generally indoors by two opposing teams of five players each. Basketball was conceived in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith, a physical education instructor at the YMCA college in Springfield, Mass., as a way to condition outdoor athletes during the winter months. His original list of 13 rules has undergone a century of revision, leading to faster pacing and greater athleticism. Today basketball is one of the most popular American sports and one the rest of the world has adopted.\nBasic Rules\n\nAt each end of the court—usually about 92 ft (28 m) long and 50 ft (15 m) wide—is a bottomless basket made of white cord net and suspended from a metal ring, 18 in. (46 cm) in diameter, which is attached 10 ft (3.05 m) above the floor (usually hardwood) to a backboard made of fiberglass, wood, or other material. Players may throw, dribble (bounce), or shoot the basketball (an inflated ball usually made of leather or rubber) but may not run with it or kick it.\n\nTeams try to advance the ball and shoot it through one basket (the ball must enter from above) and to keep the opposition from scoring through the other. Each field goal, or basket, scores two points, or three points if shot from beyond a specified distance (21 ft/6 m in U.S. colleges, slightly longer in international and professional play). Teams must shoot the ball within a prescribed time limit (24 sec in the National Basketball Association; 30 sec in international games and in most women's play; 45 sec in men's collegiate play).\n\nAny player making illegal body contact with an opposing player is assessed a foul; the opposing team may be given possession of the ball, or an opposing player awarded free throws at the basket from the foul line. Each made foul shot is worth one point. Players who exceed the foul limit (usually five, but six in the NBA) are disqualified from the game. International and collegiate basketball games have two 20-min halves, professionals play four 12-min quarters, and high schoolers play four 8-min quarters.

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!!!!

A couple of season ago, the NBA played around with the idea of reducing the three point arc.  During the season, players who didn't normally take threes were taking them.  \n\nThe following season, the reverted back to the old distance.  \n\nPersonally, I found it a bit too far when I tried to shoot in an NBA regulation court.  But since the distance is the same from the corners, I had no problem knocking those down from there.\n\nHope this was helpful.

A jumpstop should be used in place of a layup if you can't do them. Just plant your feet and shoot. Yes, both feet need to be planted. I'm not sure about the pivoting one, but I think it's okay. Just be sure to shoot! :) I'm a major basketball player, too, so trust me!

Boxing out - To place your body between the hoop and an opponent to facilitate rebounding.\n\nPick and roll - To stand still while a team mate "scrapes" his defender by leading him into you, then you move toward the hoop anticipating a pass from your team mate.\n\nhere are some more:\nhttp://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3014786\nhttp://library.thinkquest.org/CR0215404/basterms.htm\nhttp://www.firstbasesports.com/basketball_glossary.html
