Can anyone explain to me when a possession arrow should be turned in 'Fiba' basketball rules?

It replaces the jump ball, so after each lose or won possession the arrow changes. Well, that's what i think.

These links should help.\n\nThe rules page:\nDon't try to read the rule book!  But check out some of the other sections on that page.  \n\nIt would be handy to print out the list of fouls on the "Official Referee Hand Signals Illustrated" page.  Don't print out the drawings, but just the list of fouls.  You can learn the hand signals as time passes.\n\nThe third link is to a book at Amazon.  You might look for it or others at your local public library.  Also, notice that there are some other introductory basketball books recommened.

An offensive player or defensive player can be called for a three second violation. It is when a player stands in the lane(painted area) for 3 seconds or more.\nAn offensive player can be at fault with or without the ball, but if they have the ball they can only be called if they are not making a move toward the basket.\nA defensive player is at fault if they are in the lane for 3 seconds and are not guarding anyone.

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.

the above answers arent true, its not a different action, all you do to take a front divot is stand the same way, but when you address the ball move your hands a little forward, to the left side if your a right handed player, swing the same way, you'll be suprised at the front divots and the back spin.

if you dont know,  why would you join a team?  anyway,  there are far too many rules to sit here and list them all.  do a web search or go to wikipedia on the rules of basketball.  this is too detailed for answers.  good luck!

It's an arc that marks the restricted area.  An offensive foul can not be called if a defensive player's feet was set inside this zone.  The purpose is to prevent injuries that used to happen very close to the basket.  Unlike college, NBA players can jump. LOL.  Some very serious and sometimes career-ending injuries used to happen very close to the basket.  The restricted area is a safety zone.  If a player with the ball is moving fast to the hoop and has already penetrated 4 feet from the basket, there's really no way to successfully defend in the NBA without causing an injury.  The rule applies only for players entering the zone and not those who receive the ball already inside.\n\nThe restricted area does not apply if a player approaches along the baseline.  That's why the arc does not extend all the way to the sideline.

I like many of the new rule changes. I absolutely love 4-on-4 during overtime. It opens the game up more. One rule I would like to see though is that a player's namemust have a minimum of 3 vowels, just so I can know how to pronounce it.

A good answer was to lean it to one side.  Just make sure that you are accurate that way.  That's similiar to shooting a pistol sideways.  Some people can do, others can't.  \n\nAnother trick is to hold your index finger along the arrow as your draw it back.  Just make sure that you put your finger back down before you release.

Depends on what the ref saw.  Techincally, if you jump and raise the rock to shoot  - but don't shoot - then you have commited a up & down and must turn over the ball.  It doesn't make a difference weather you jump forward, backward, sideways, or vertical.  The key is that you are looking to shoot and not pass.

The rule was changed so that play would not be interrupted unnecessarily. Like you, I didn't quite get it. I looked up "new offside rule" on Google and came up with the link below. It seems to explain it quite well.

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