Basketball

Basketball is a sport that contest in 1891 by James Naismith in Springfield, Massachusetts (United States) was invented. Originally it was an American men's sport. The current basketball is on each continent practiced by both men and women. Two teams of five players each participating to the game and a 7 Exchange players are against each other. The object of the game is to conquer the ball and this by an iron ring-the basket-and in order to prevent that the opponent does the same. The basket has a diameter of 45.0 cm, hangs on an altitude of 3,048 meters (10 feet) attached to a Backboard and is equipped with a net. To each of the short sides of the rectangular basket is a basketball court . Basketball is both inside and outside (the so-called streetbasketball or streetball) practiced.Inside is the surface typically from hard wood or plastic and is played on outdoor asphalt . International basketball matches are according to the official rules of the FIBAplayed. However, the NBA has been a great influence on and often takes the lead in FIBA rule changes, which are inherited by the later.

Within the time allowed by the shot clock from 24 seconds a scoring attempt should be undertaken. That is to say that the ball must hit the basket within a certain time. The shot clock, which limited the duration of an attack, is set to meet the speed and hence to the attractiveness of the basketball game. In the modern basketball is, depending on the distance of which is shot, with two or three runs were scored a goal (the so-called two- and three-pointers). Delivers one point on a free throw. different players take different strategic positions in field; the power forward and center in the vicinity of the basket, the small-forward and shooting guard around the three puntlijn and the point-guard brings the ball from one to another side of the playing field, to one of his fellow players to play. Thus they try to defend their field. The team that at the end of a 4 x 10 minutes (FIBA) or 4 x 12 minutes (NBA)-long basketball match most points scored WINS. In the case of a tie, the race in one or more renewals of five minutes (both FIBA and NBA) decided. The score history and other important race records are kept on the match sheet.

The defending team tries to prevent the attacking team from scoring and aims to get the ball himself. A number of strategies used to lose the ball to the opponent. When an offensive team surrenders the ball possession, there has been a turnover. Ball loss may be suffered as a result of a steal of an opponent, when a player with the ball outside of the playing field or a walking mistake, when he hit an offensive mistake, if a shot is blocked by an opponent or when the ball after a failed field goal by the opponent through a defensive rebound is secured. When a player toespeelt scoring the ball to a teammate, who thereupon a field goal can do, it is called an assist.

Certain physical contact, especially when benefit is achieved here is punishable by a personal foul; unsportsmanlike conduct is punishable by an unsportsmanlike error.Comment on the referees or technical staff can provide a technical error. When a player commits a certain number of errors before the game, he is excluded from the game. Balbehandelingen at certain unauthorized, such as running with the ball or dribbling twice (double dribble or second dribble), goes the ball possession to the opponent. ==The playing field[ Edit] == Basketball CourtIn basketball is called the playing field a basketball court. It consists of a rectangular surface with a basketball on both short sides. In professional basketball, especially when it is played, is the surface of hardwood, mostly oak's. When basketball is played outside, there usually involve an asphalt surface. Basketball courts have different dimensions. A field In the NBA is 94 feet long and 50 feet wide, a FIBA-field is smaller with 28x15 metres (from 26x14 meter can also be approved a field). The basket always hangs at a height of 3.05 m (except in youth leagues, where the basket hangs usually at a height of 2.60 metres) and the midpoint of the basket is 1.575 m from the end line. The field has two side and rear lines, a center line, a free-throw line (at 5.80 metres from the end line) and a three puntlijn (on 6.75 m from the center of the basket; until 2010 was that 6,25 m[1] ). Furthermore, there is still a center circle (where each game begins with a jump ball) and a so-called bucket, the area right around the basket, differentiated. The bucket is the area for the basket, it is indicated with lines, 6 metres wide. It is the area between the free throw line and the end line and the circle to the free throw line. To 2010 was this a Trapezoidal shape, today it is a rectangle[1]. The basket is 1.2 meters from the end line. The basket has a diameter of 0.45 metres, the Backboard is 1.80 meters wide and 1.05 meters high. The bottom of the Board is at a height of 2,90 meters, the basket is on a height of 3.05 metres, on Board confirmed. The distance of the three puntlijn in the history of the game changed several times; in NBA games, the three puntlijn are farther from the basket than is the case at international competitions, namely 7.23 metres. ==The rules<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===Basketball, Backboard and ball<span class="mw-editsection" len="340" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The original attempt was to the back wall of a gymnasium. The type of hive and its position, however, were impractical and in 1897 was the Backboard was introduced. In 1914, the soil removed from the basket, so that the ball could fall back after a score by the basket and not after each score the ball from the basket did not have to be met.In 1921, it was the basket 60 cm of the wall, to prevent the wall as a tool was used, in 1940, the basket another 60 cm continue in the playing field, this to more movement under the basket as possible. The original ball had a circumference of 81 cm, in 1931 and in 1935 this was 79 cm mat a basketball between the 74.9 and 76.8 cm. the perimeter of the back board is 1.80 in 1,05 m the black/red/orange or green square is exactly in the middle of the board this is 0.59 at 0,45 m. ===Players, Exchange players and teams<span class="mw-editsection" len="347" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The original regulation of Naismith did not mention the number of players on the playing field was allowed. In 1900, five players ever, where a player could be changed by default, except when he was 5 errors. From 1921 should a player be exchanged twice and three times in 1934. In 1945 eliminated the limit on the number of times a player could be exchanged. Coaching during a match was forbidden, but was permitted during timeouts in 1949. Initially a player after two errors of the game excluded, in 1911 and 1945 respectively this changed in four and five errors. In the FIBA is a player after five errors excluded, in the NBA after six errors. ===Shot clock and time limits<span class="mw-editsection" len="342" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The first time limit was instituted in 1933, in which a team required was obtained within about ten seconds after the ball was over the middle line to come. This rule was maintained until 2000, after which this was reduced to eight seconds by the FIBA, the NBA followed a year later. The three-secondenregel, which prohibits offensive players to stay longer than three seconds in to the bucket, was set up in 1936. The line was originally induced big game between (large) to prevent players under the basket; now, it is mainly considered as a rule to the advantage that is acquired by (to) close to the basket waiting to be lifted. The shot clock was introduced in 1954 in the NBA, to cater to the speed of the game. A team was obligated possession obtained within 24 seconds after a goal attempt was made to have, with the ring of the basket is hit. When this happens, or when the opponent is grabbing the ball, the shot clock reset. In 1956, the FIBA a similar 30-secondenregel in which the shot clock was reset after a field goal. The FIBA defined the term goal attempt less strict than the NBA. The FIBA in 2000 went to the 24-secondenregel and adopted the stricter definition of a shot attempt, with the ball must hit the ring of the basket, of the NBA. A missed shot, in which the 24 seconds elapse when the ball still in the air on his way, was considered to be a violation of this policy; This was lifted in 2003, provided that the ball hit the ring. There are four ways to obtain again 24 seconds:-when the team in possession against comes. -If the ball touches the ring at a shot or lay-up. -If a violation is made. -If the ball with the foot being hit. ===Errors, free throws and violations<span class="mw-editsection" len="353" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Walking, dribbling the ball on the ground do the encounter, did not hear to the original basketball and was only introduced in 1901. At the time, if a player the ball only once encounter and if not shoot after he had done this. In 1909 if a player the ball, when stationary, encounter more than once and in addition a goal attempt after he had done this. Run with the ball is no longer since 1900 as an error, but classified as an offence, which means that as punishment the ball possession to the opponent is going. Save the ball with the fist was also a violation. From 1930 the play was shut down and resumed with a jump ball, when a player in possession, defended the ball more than five seconds to the game wrested. Since then, this as a violation. Goaltending became a violation in 1946 and offensive goaltending in 1958. Goaltending is holding or touching the ball after it has bet a declining line after a shot attempt. The free throw was introduced soon after the invention of basketball. In 1895, the free throw line on 4.6 metres from the basket set, this had turned to that moment on 6.1 meters from the basket stood. From 1924 to players who take their free throws error is committed. In 1998 introduced the NBA an arc with a diameter of 1.22 meters around the basket, in which attacking errors were not awarded. This is to prevent defensive players under the basket wait until an attacking error is committed against them. ===Scoring and field markers<span class="mw-editsection" len="341" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Originally, only the number of scores being tracked, without giving a weighting. When the free throw was introduced, this was equivalent to a field goal. In 1896 was two points awarded to a field goal and a free throw to a point. The American Basketball Association (ABA) introduced with its inception in 1967 the 3-pointer, scored a field goal from behind the three puntlijn. The FIBA introduced the three puntlijn in 1984 on 6.25 meters from the middle of the basket. The rectangular bucket was in 1951 in the NBA widened by 1.8 to 3.7 metres. In 1956 the FIBA introduced its trapezoid bucket, 3.6 metres wide at the free throw line. The FIBA broadened this in 1961 to 6 meters and the NBA to 4.9 meters, both the current standards. ===Race officials, formalities and procedures<span class="mw-editsection" len="361" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Originally there was a referee for the assessment of errors and a referee at the discretion of balbehandelingen. These original names of referee and umpire until the present day, despite the fact that they now know in all aspects of the game check and are equivalent. The NBA introduced a third spiritual director in 1988, the FIBA followed and adapted it in 2006 for the first time in international competition far. Arbitration decisions are not supported by video footage. Only when it is unclear whether a last shot of a match within the time fell calls on images. The NBA uses this exception since 2002. the FIBA took this in 2006.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">After a point, the ball is put back into the game from behind the end line by the non-scoring team. To 1938 was the game after each score resumes with a jump ball, here was in favour of the non-scoring team from seen. The jump ball was still used to begin every game and each period. From 1975 applies the NBA another balbezitsysteem and catch the second through the fourth quarter, with a jump ball to only the beginning of a game, the first quarter, begins with a jump ball. The FIBA in 2003, took over. In 1976, the NBA allows a line in which the teams after an allowed time out to bring the ball up to the center line in the last two minutes of a match. The FIBA followed in 2005. ===International rules<span class="mw-editsection" len="338" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p lang="en" len="97" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">On 31 March 2006, the current rules by the FIBA approved and effected on 1 October. ==The five default positions<span class="mw-editsection" len="342" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p lang="en" len="50" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The modern basketball has five positions:

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The center (this is referred to as the ' number vijf'-position) is generally the longest player of a basketball team, its length is often accompanied by a considerable weight and strength. An average NBA center is longer than 2.08 meters. The traditional role of the center is to be near the basket to score and stop the opponent of this. A center that length combines with athletic ability and technical skills can be an unbeatable added value for a team. There is some controversy over what is now a ' real center ' is, often the discussion rages whether a center or a power forward is. Examples of players who are in this position in the NBADwight Howard, Shaquille O'Neal, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Vlade Divac, Arvydas Sabonis, Rik Smits, Dino Meneghin, Hakeem Olajuwon.
 * Center

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The power-forward (the ' number vier'-position) shares certain tasks in his role with the center. The power-forward plays in attacking respect with his back to the basket. He plays In defensive terms in a zone defense, or against the opposing power forward in a man-to-man defense. A typical power-forward is one of the longest players on the field, not as long as the center, but often more compactly built. A power-forward is expected to grab rebounds and scores most of his points within two meters of the basket, rather than via remote shots. The power-forward is an impressive appearance on the field, but it is the center that most shots blokt and the more intimidating role takes on. Power forward In the NBA is an average 2.03-2.12 metres long and weighs 100 – 120 kg. Often takes the power-forward in certain game situations the role of center in itself, especially when a team lacks a longer player. Examples of power-forwards are Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Dennis Rodman, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone and Pau Gasol. Rodman and Barkley fell short with their 1,98 m does not meet the stereotype of the power-forward, but were nevertheless very successful at this position.
 * Power-forward

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The small forward (the ' number drie'-position) is typically somewhat shorter, lighter and faster and more athletic than the power-forward. The small-forward position is classified by the nature of his role as probably the most versatile of the five basketball positions. Most small-forwards are 1.95-2.10 m long. its most important task is scoring points, after the center and power forward is he as third responsible for rebounden.Some small-forwards have a more than excellent passing. The small-forward is the least stereotypical player, some players at this position scoring their points mostly from distance and others have more tend to the basket to look up. A role of the small-forward is the enforcement of individual errors by the opponent. An essential quality of the small-forward is his shot, he scores many of his points from the free throw line. The versatile small-forward plays an important role in the defense, those who fall short on offensive flat, often more than compensate for this in defensive terms. Examples of small-forwards LeBron James, Kevin Durant,Scottie Pippen, Metta World Peace, Larry Bird and Carmelo Anthony.
 * Small-forward

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Shooting-guards (the ' number twee'-position) are usually shorter, lighter, more athletic and faster than small-forwards. Its most important task is scoring points. Although actually a task of the point-guard, shooting guard often brings the ball crosses the center line. These combine the task of shooting guards and point-guard and are combo-guards '. A player that the role of small-forward and shooting guard is known as a swingman '. The shooting guard is usually longer than the point-guard and measure around 2 m long players play Less often. also on this position, including Allen Iverson. The shooting guard is often the best Archer of the team, something that does not prevent him his way toward the basket to courts. Examples of shooting guards are Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, James Harden, Michael Jordan , Vince Carter.
 * Shooting guard

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The point-guard (the "number one" position) is usually the smallest player on the pitch, with the notable exception Earvin ' Magic ' Johnson. The position of point-guard is perhaps most specialist of the five. The point-guard plays a pivotal role and put the lines out. In essence it is his role to lead the attack of his team by checking the ball and this at the right time to play a team player. Above all, he is an extension of his coach in the field and his battle plan to understand and implement. The point-guard is the player with the most tactical skill and ingenuity and must in all situations, especially in the case of a ' fast-break ', can act quickly. The role of the point-guard is similar to that of the midfielder at the football and American football quarterback from the. The point-guard must do to speak, he instructs his team players and goes first to the mentors in discussion in the case of a questionable decision. He must at all times be aware of the shot clock, the remaining race time, the intermediate rankings, the number of timeouts by both teams and the rate of error of his own team and the opponent. More length is regarded as a surplus, but is subordinate to game insight and technical skill. Each attack starts at the point-guard, for this reason, it is his passing game, ball touch and vision critical. The point-guard is often rated rather than on the number of assists on his goalscoring ability. Despite this, should a point-guard to have a reasonable (jump) shot. Examples include Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo, Jeremy Lin, Jason Kidd, Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas and John Stockton. ==Combined-positions<span class="mw-editsection" len="336" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In addition to the five positions in basketball, one distinguishes a number of other positions. These positions are combinations of the five default positions. Players can usually play multiple positions and are sometimes referred to with one name, which combined is from the positions that the player in question play can. Also it happens that this name from a part of a name of the default position exists.
 * Point-guard

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">This position is a combination of the Point-guard and the Shooting guard. Well-known examples of a Combo-guards are Allen Iverson, Dwyane Wade, James Harden

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">A Point-forward is a bit of a exceptional case. It is a position of a forward who has enough game insight to be able to play point guard. Examples of Point-forwards are LeBron James, Scottie Pippen, Lamar Odom andHidayet Türkoğlu.

Basketball is one of the few sports that were invented out of nowhere. Sports teacher James Naismith called the 18 students of his class together, divided them into two teams of nine players and a captain to indicate for each shift. Thus began the very first basketball game. She was played with a soccer ball and two peach baskets that each on one side of the gymnasium were hanged.

However, the degree of organisation was not high. Leagues and teams appeared and disappeared, changed on a regular basis from team players. The matches usually went by in barns or in dance halls. It is only in 1949 that with the creation of the National Basketball Association (NBA) a first real steadfast competition arises.

The United States have always been the dominant team. In Munich (1972): Soviet Union), Moscow (1980): Yugoslavia), Seoul (1988): Soviet Union) and Athens (2004): Argentina) they failed to achieve the Olympic title. The Dream Team (1992) and his successors restored the American predominance, but despite the many NBA players won the United States ' only ' bronze in 2004.

It was not until 1930 got basketball more fame in Netherlands, via Lew Lake, youth & sports leader of the London YMCA. The Dutch branch of the YMCA invited Lew Lake to give a course in Amsterdam. That beat a lot. In 1930 there was a tournament organized, to which also the London YMCA-team took part. In 1931 they played an exhibition game in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw. However, it took until after the war before the Dutch Basketball League (NBB) was founded.
 * Errors and infringements: during a basketball game can be made errors and violations. Both are the result of a breach of the rules. The difference between errors and violations is that errors on the contest form are noted in the name of a player, coach or team supervisor. In addition, an error a violation of rules involving unauthorized personal contact or unsportsmanlike behavior.
 * Examples of violations are: a uitbal, double dribble ', ' walk ', soccer or ball stumps, playback on own half or 3-seconds in the restricted area.
 * Examples of errors include: push, unauthorized use of the hands, name calling or unauthorized comment.
 * Walking Violation. A walking violation (in the FIBA "marché" and in the NBA "Traveling foul") shall whistled when a player:
 * Runs without dribbling
 * First time one or more steps and then starts to dribble.
 * If at any time during the lay-up three or more steps have been taken.
 * Pivot Foot. When a player with the ball in hand a lift of both feet/moved, the other foot is automatically the pivot foot. The pivot foot the player must keep to the ground as long as the ball is held in the hands. On this pivot foot the player may be spinning around (pivoteren), as long as it remains on the same foot position on the pitch.
 * The pivot foot may be lifted up during fitting or shoot, but this foot should not touch the ground before the ball has left the hands of the player. After the ball has touched the ground when dribbling or after a player lost the ball, are the limitations of the pivot foot no longer apply.
 * When the limitations of the pivot foot be infringed, is a walking violation.
 * Second dribble. It is not allowed to dribble, to stop dribbling the ball to take in one or two hands, and then again to dribble. This is called second dribble.
 * Charge (attacking error). A charge can be whistled as the attacker causes physical contact with the Defender as this Defender is stationary or the attacker uses the other hand to illegal moves.
 * Block. The block is a movement, but can also be considered as an error.
 * A player can be blocked when fired. This is no error as long as the Defender on the ball and not on the hands or arms.
 * A player can be stopped during lay-up. This is almost always wrong, unless the Defender is stationary. Then apply it as a charge (see above).
 * Lay-up. The lay-up is a movement, and has to be carried out by two steps to dribble, and to throw the ball into the basket. For more information, see loop error.
 * Reverse Lay-up. The Reverse lay-up is also a movement, but a different version than the lay-up. A Reverse lay-up is carried out by one step behind the basket to set up, and then a second, short step to the field. With a short step the player can easily up, sticking his arm out and turns his body. Popularly it is also sometimes called a ' laid-back ', but the ' official ' name is Reverse lay-up.
 * Shot. The shot is a separate movement and must be carried out very exactly. Shoot with two hands, as with reading does not appear in the modern basketball. The description of the shot technique is similar to the following (right handed player): the feet stand become characterized by a very slight spreidsatnd, about schouderbreed, with the right foot to the left foot.
 * Who is right handed, put his right hand behind the ball, keep it on the height of the shoulder, about 30 cm away. The player makes his arm an L-shape, so it forms a 90 degree angle. The left hand is to the left of/under the ball and contributes thus in the beginning of the movement by the knees and bends the ball one crosses the seat backwards. During this movement is the right hand brought more under the ball.Now arises a good "shot pocket" and the player is ready to execute the shot. One is the right arm completely out; the left hand loses its function and then the left arm is not in the Scottish movement. Important is that at the end of the shot Gets the ball movement a final push by the flip of the right wrist. At a well executed shot movement has the ball in the air a backward rotation.
 * Buzzer shot (also called called Buzzerbeater). A buzzer shot is a score that is being made at the low of the buzzer, which is raging at the end of every quarter.
 * Backdoor. There are multiple players require. One has the ball, and not the actor. The fellow player runs out makes a feint that he wants to get the ball there. Speeds up than inside, behind the back of the opponent, and is given a pass by the one who has that ball and makes it off with a lay-up.
 * Pass. A newly seems simple, but there are different types of passes. There are the chest passes, the bouncepasses, the overhand passes, the underhand passes, the overhead pass, etc. A bounce and chest pass is performed by both hands to the sides of the ball to post. The player reaches the poor, and if the ball away to the outside should be two wrists is State. Overhand passes and underhand passes done with one hand. At the overhead pass are both hands to the ball, the ball above the head, and one as a kind of throw-in passt movement, in football, to the fellow player.
 * Give and Go. The player fits to a fellow player, cuts through to the basket and asks for the ball. he gets the ball and makes a lay-up. This whole movement has one name given: Give and Go. Is usually pronounced as Give 'n Go.
 * Bounce pass: a pass through the ground.
 * Dribbling: with the ball bounce, in order to be able to walk with the ball.
 * Personal foul: this type of error is most in a contest and is awarded to a player who is guilty of illegally defend field, push, unauthorized use of the hands etc. A personal foul is also called a ' P ' called. A player with five personal mistakes should be exchanged and will be excluded from participating in the rest of the match.
 * Technical error: when players on or off the pitch, or the coach irresponsible behaviour in front of the audience, his opponents, the jury table or the arbitrators. Irresponsible behavior can be interpreted as repeated comments on the race officials or use of obscene language and/or gestures.
 * Unsportsmanlike error: an error that very unsportsmanlike and usually is made on a player that only on the basket goes off. When one has two unsportsmanlike errors is one excluded from the contest. Then the player may no longer attend the contest and must be in the locker room or outside the building to wait for the final whistle of the match. The punishment after the contest at two unsportsmanlike errors is the same as a disqualifying error: a fine and a suspension.
 * Disqualifying error: this error rarely occurs. If anyone gets this error he must leave the field immediately and should join the rest of the match anymore regardless of how many error it is. It also follows a fine and a suspension. This duration of this suspension depends on the error.
 * And one: a "And One" is spoken in the American basket world when someone scores, an error is given, and then assigned a vrijworp. in Netherlands is this also called a "bonus" called. And1 is the name of a basketball clothing/shoe brand.

The above Lew Lake basketball introduced there in 1930. For many players was basketball a bit a second sport. Many teams heard at Amsterdamse korfball associations. In contrast to the United States there were hardly in Netherlands the development of basketball gyms, something delayed. It took until 1956-1957 honor more districts claimed at the NBB. The lack of gymnasiums meant that there is almost no competition basketball was played, with the result that the membership in the first twenty years of the existence of the NBB grew from thousand to only 8,000. ===Dutch Basketball Federation<span class="mw-editsection" len="344" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">When the Dutch Basketball Federation was founded on July 15, 1947, the League began with something less than a thousand members and were 120 teams from Amsterdam, Haarlem and Rotterdam connected.Basketball was a sport that at that time not yet across the country was practiced. Especially in Amsterdam was basketball played. It is therefore logical that the NBB established in 1945 came from the Amsterdam Basketball Federation. It was not until the season ' 49-' 50, including the first reported other cities to Den Helder, Haarlem and Rotterdam.

In the women's and men's at the westerkwartier was first AMVJ, both from Amsterdam. On 20 december 1955 the NBB are obtained Royal assent and became recognized as legal entity. This was also paved the way to proceed in the development of basketball as a full-fledged sport. As examples can be called membership of the Dutch Olympic Committee in 1956, starting up a competition between different districts in 1956 and finally the beginning of a national competition in 1957-1958. At the start it was played with two rural classes, whose winners played for the League title. In 1960, the eredivisie was introduced, with the twelve best teams in one League. In the women's competition, it took two more years for eredivisie was a fact. All this does not alter the fact that the Amsterdam team took the national basketball continued to dominate. It took until 1967 for a non-Amsterdam-team national title (SVE Utrecht). In 2010, the League renamed the Dutch Basketball League (DBL).
