PHED 104 MODULE IV Final Edit
INTRODUCTION
In this module, we will focus on tackling about the rules that you need
to abide in playing the basketball game including the officiating officials and
the hand signals used which are very essential for players in the court. Due to
the pandemic we are currently facing, the instructors/authors adjusted the
activities in accordance with the health protocols that limit social gathering
and the like.
OBJECTIVES
1. Identify the faults and violations according to the given situation; and
2. Perform the officiating hand signals.
There are five lessons in the module. Read each lesson carefully then
answer the exercises/activities to find out how much learning you have
acquired from it. Work on these activities diligently. Submit all your outputs
online as indicated in the activities posted.
In addition to stealing the ball from an opposing player, there are other ways
for a team to get the ball.
Fouls
A. Personal fouls: Personal fouls include any type of illegal physical contact.
1. Hitting
2. Pushing
3. Slapping
4. Holding
5. Illegal pick/screen -when an offensive player is moving. When an
offensive player sticks out a limb and makes physical contact with a
defender in an attempt to block the path of the defender.
Three free throws are awarded if the player is fouled while shooting
for a three-point goal and they miss their shot. If a player is fouled
while shooting a three-point shot and makes it anyway, he is
awarded one free throw. Thus, he could score four points on the
play.
Inbounds - If fouled while not shooting, the ball is given to the team the
foul was committed upon. They get the ball at the nearest side or
baseline, out of bounds, and have 5 seconds to pass the ball onto the
court.
One & one - If the team committing the foul has seven or more fouls in
the game, then the player who was fouled is awarded one free throw. If
he makes his first shot, then he is awarded another free throw.
6. Charging
An offensive foul that is committed when a player pushes or runs over a
defensive player. The ball is given to the team that the foul was committed
upon.
7. Blocking
Blocking is illegal personal contact resulting from a defender not
establishing position in time to prevent an opponent's drive to the basket.
8. Flagrant foul
Violent contact with an opponent. This includes hitting, kicking, and
punching. This type of foul results in free throws plus the offense retaining
possession of the ball after the free throws.
9. Intentional foul
When a player makes physical contact with another player with no
reasonable effort to steal the ball. It is a judgment call for the officials.
VIOLATIONS
1) Walking/Traveling
Taking more than 'a step and a half' without dribbling the ball is traveling.
Moving your pivot foot once you've stopped dribbling is traveling.
2) Carrying/palming
When a player dribbles the ball with his hand too far to the side of or,
sometimes, even under the ball.
3) Double Dribble
Dribbling the ball with both hands on the ball at the same time or picking up
the dribble and then dribbling again is a double dribble.
5) Goaltending
If a defensive player interferes with a shot while it's on the way down
toward the basket, while it's on the way up toward the basket after having
touched the backboard, or while it's in the cylinder above the rim, it's
goaltending and the shot counts. If committed by an offensive player, it's a
violation and the ball is awarded to the opposing team for a throw-in.
6) Backcourt violation
Once the offense has brought the ball across the mid-court line, they
cannot go back across the line during possession. If they do, the ball is awarded
to the other team to pass inbounds.
7) Time restrictions
A player passing the ball inbounds has five seconds to pass the ball. If he
does not, then the ball is awarded to the other team. Other time restrictions
include the rule that a player cannot have the ball for more than five seconds
when being closely guarded and, in some states and levels, shot-clock
restrictions requiring a team to attempt a shot within a given time frame.
ACTIVITY
4.
The officials in basketball are the ones responsible for spotting any rule
violations and enforcing the appropriate penalties in the game. Officials are
vital to any basketball game, as they help to ensure a level playing field that
prevents either team from having an unfair advantage. The game of basketball
is not officiated only by referees. There is a whole group of officials to manage
a game and to keep things on track. The group includes referee, umpires,
scorer, timekeeper and shot clock operator.
The referees shall blow their whistles when an infraction of the rules occurs,
quarter or overtime ends or the referees find it necessary to stop the game.
The referees shall not blow their whistles after a successful field goal, a
successful free throw or when the ball becomes live.
2. Lead Refere. Lead referee (also known as crew chief in NBA) is the in
charge of the game. Normally, all two or three referees are independent in
terms of making their decisions but in case of a dispute, it’s the lead referee
whose verdict is considered final.
3. Scorers. Scorer play supportive role in the game of the basketball. There
can be one or two scorers in a game depending on the rules of the league and
their job is to write down the stats relevant to the game.
Duties
The scorer shall be provided with a score sheet and shall keep a record of:
Teams, by entering the names and numbers of the players who are to
begin the game and of all substitutes who enter the game. When there is
an infraction of the rules regarding the 5 players to begin the game,
substitutions or numbers of players, he shall notify the nearest referee
as soon as possible.
Running summary of points scored, by entering the field goals and the
free throws made.
*The assistant scorer shall operate the scoreboard and assist the scorer
and timer.
In case of any discrepancy between the scoreboard and the score sheet
which cannot be resolved, the score sheet shall take precedence and the
scoreboard shall be corrected accordingly.
4. Timers. Timer assists referee in recording time. Generally, two timers are
appointed by the league. One is official timer who operates the game clock and
the other is shot clock operator who operates 24 second clock. Official timer
alerts referee when each half is going to start and stops the clock when any
kind of interruption occurs during a game (fouls, out of bounds, timeouts etc)
while shot clock timer informs referee when a player takes 24 or more seconds
to shoot a ball (keeping the ball in possession for 24 seconds or more is a
violation).
Duties
The timer shall be provided with a game clock and a stopwatch and shall:
Ensure that the game clock signal sounds very loudly and automatically
at the end of a quarter or overtime.
Use any means possible to notify the referees immediately if his signal
fails to sound or is not heard.
Position the team foul marker on the scorer's table, at the end nearest
to the bench of the team in the team foul penalty situation, when the
ball becomes live after the fourth team foul in a quarter.
Effect substitutions.
Sound his signal only when the ball becomes dead and before the ball
becomes live again. The sound of his signal does not stop the game clock
or the game nor cause the ball to become dead.
