BASKETBALL HISTORY
Basketball was born as a response to the need for any winter sport in school YMCA in Massachusetts. As professor at the University of Illinois (Massachusetts) James Naismith, (physical education teacher) was entrusted the mission, in 1891, to devise a sport that could be played indoors, the winters in the area hampered the realization of any outdoor activity.
Naismith analyzed sports that were practiced at the time, whose dominant feature was the force or physical contact, and thought of something sufficiently active, that required more skill than strength and not having much physical contact. The Canadian remembered an old childhood game called "duck on a rock" (The duck on a rock), which was to try to reach an object placed on a rock throwing a stone. Naismith called the manager of the school a few boxes of 50 cm. length but all she got were some baskets of peaches, who commanded hang on the railings of the upper gallery surrounding the gym, at a given height.
HOW TO PLAY
- Duration of a match: In FIBA, by regulation game consists of four periods of 10 minutes each. In the NBA the duration of each period is 12 minutes and in NCAA play two periods of 20 minutes each. If the match ends in a draw between the two teams, will play an extension of 5 minutes. And so on until one team wins the match.
- Players: The team presented the game consists of 12 players max. 5 form the starting lineup and the other 7 will be the alternates. Coach the players can change as often as you leveraging stoppages in play, except in the school categories to children (age 13-14 years) that all team players must play at least one period during the first three and can in the past to make substitutions.
- Starting the game: You must put a player from each team within the center circle with one foot near the line that divides the field into two halves, each located in their field. The other players must be outside the circle. The referee tosses the ball up from the center of the circle and the two players jump vertically to try to deflect it, no catch, to a team mate.
- Referees: For most competitions usually two referees in charge of directing the meeting (although there are many professional leagues for three others with very low budget one).
- scorers table: The table scorers (scorekeeper, assistant scorekeeper, timekeeper, operator of the 24-s rule, if any, curator) controls all match details (score, time-outs, playing time, faults, changes, etc..) and made the score sheet.
