On the Court ~ SB2 ~ Pg 162

My coach taught me a lot about basketball.
A foul is when you grab or touch another player while guarding them.
A foul shot would be given when a player is fouled while they are shooting, or if the other team already has more than ten fouls, adding another gets a foul shot. A foul shot is specifically shot from the foul line. Usually, you get two foul shots when fouled while shooting. If you are getting a shot because the other team has more than ten fouls, you may only get one shot.
A double dribble is when you pick up your dribble and then start dribbling again.

The three basic positions are: Guard, Forward, and Center.

The Guard has two different names. The point guard brings the ball down the court and calls the plays. The point guard must be able to dribble well with both hands and pass well. The Shooting guard is the one who can shoot well from all positions. They are also very fast and good at dribbling.

The Forward also has two different names. The Small forward is usually very good at rebounding or can shoot well from a long range. They should be a good passer, hard driver, and good runner as well. The Power forward is the one who goes for short range shots and lay-ups. A good Power forward will be able to get lots of rebounds. They fight for an opening to do lay-ups.

The Center's job is to block shots and get the rebounds. They are rarely expected to shoot or dribble much. Mostly, they are really good on defense.

I learned how to hold my dribble all the way down the court, pass the ball to other players, and make a basket from the foul line. Usually, when I played basketball, I was a center.
