2. BASKETBALL:court
 The circle in the middle of the court is where the game starts
with the jump ball whoever wins the jump starts with the ball.
The two lines and the circle coming out away from the hoop is
called the“KEY”. When a player gets a foul they come to this
circle called the “free throw line” they take two shots from this
line without anyone any one trying to block your shot. Your team
and the opposing team stand behind the black lines coming off
this circle.

22. BASKETBALL : THE BALL
 The ball first purpose-built basketballs were made
from panels of leather stitched together with a rubber
bladder inside. A cloth lining was added to the leather
for support and uniformity (identity). A molded version
of the early basketball was invented in 1942. From
1967 through 1976, the American Basketball
Association (ABA) used a distinctive red, white and
blue basketball that is still seen from time to time. For
many years, leather was the material of choice for
basketball coverings, however in the late 1990s,
composite materials were put forth and have rapidly
gained acceptance in most leagues due to their
superior performance in harsh outdoor game
conditions. htt://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball_(ball)

23. BASKETBALL : THE BALL
TODAY
Balls are generally designated for indoor (generally
made of leather or absorbent composites), or all-surface
use (generally made of rubber or durable composites,
also known as Indoor/Outdoor balls). Indoor balls tend
to be considerably more expensive than all-surface
balls due to cost of materials. In addition, brand new all-
leather indoor balls must be "broken in" first to achieve
optimal grip before use in competition. The
abrasiveness of asphalt and the dirt and moisture
present in an outdoor setting will usually ruin an indoor
ball within a very short period of time, which is why an
indoor/outdoor ball is recommended for recreational
players. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball_(ball)

24. BASKETBALL :
BACKBOARD
 The top of the hoop is 10 feet above the
ground. Regulation backboards are 6 feet
wide (72 inches) by 42 inches tall. All
basketball rims (hoops) are 18 inches in
diameter. The inner square on the
backboard is 24 inches wide by 18 inches
tall. Fibre glass is what the backboards are
normally made out of. The fibre glass gives
the ball an extra spring.

ketball)

25. BASKETBALL: BACKBOARD
INFO
 The first glass backboard was used by the Indiana
Hoosiers men's basketball team at the Men's
Gymnasium at Indiana University.[1] After the first
few games at their new facility in 1917, spectators
complained that they couldn't see the game because
of opaque wooden backboards. As a result the Nurre
Mirror Plate Company in Bloomington was employed
to create new backboards that contained one-and-a-
half inch thick plate glass so that fans could see
games without an obstructed view. As a result, it was
the first facility in the country to use glass
backboards.
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backboard_(basketball)

26. BASKETBALL : time length
 In basketball, there are four quarters
which each go for 10 minutes. At the
end of each quarter, a buzzer goes of
which marks the time. There is a time
keeper which tells the referee how much
time there is left in the game. This
person also keeps score and puts the
score on the board.
