GEORGE STRAIT A Farewell Tour Tickets- xxxx
There are principal basketball sports with variations on basketball including Wheelchair basketball, Water basketball, Beach basketball, Slamball, Streetball and Unicycle basketball. An earlier version of basketball was Six-on-six basketball played until the end of the xxxxs. Horseball is a game played on horseback where a ball is handled and points are scored by shooting it through a high net (approximately 1.5m×1.5m). The sport is like a combination of polo, rugby, and basketball. There is even a form played on donkeys known as Donkey basketball, but that version has come under attack from animal rights groups.Perhaps the single most common variation of basketball is the half-court game, played in informal settings without referees or strict rules. Only one basket is used, and the ball must be "cleared" ? passed or dribbled outside the three-point line each time possession of the ball changes from one team to the other. Half-court games require less cardiovascular stamina, since players need not run back and forth a full court. Half-court raises the number of players that can use a court or, conversely, can be played if there is an insufficient number to form full 5-on-5 teams.Basketball is played with two teams, with 5 players from each team on the court at one time. The players that are not on the court can sit on the bench; the maximum number of players on the bench differs by league. In international play, a maximum of 7 players are allowed on the bench, resulting in a roster of 12 players. The NBA has 13-player rosters; college and high school teams usually have 15-player rosters. When a player wants to substitute for another player on the court they let the score bench know. The referees will signal for the player waiting to come onto the court. The player that went into the game is now playing and the player that was playing is sitting on the bench.In Tasmania, Water Basketball first started in September xxxx with a demonstration game between two teams made up of Hobart Chargers, Hobart Hurricanes, Tassie Devils football team and the Tassie Tigers cricket team. The sport has been further developed by The Hobart Aquatic Centre to allow for a more recreational and mixed approach to the game. It involves two teams of 6 players (of which at least 3 are female) on field (with a maximum of 4 additional substitutes), who pass the ball down the pool to their goal end, which is a hoop similar to basketball.[1]In Slovenia version of water basketball developed in xxxx. Till that time there were played two versions of water basketball. In first one there was classical basket fixed at edge of the swimming pool. This was not very convenient because player were kicked on the wall of swimming pool and basket was to high for realization of some attractive actions. The second version was using floating basket which is pretty unstable so it was very difficult to throw the ball in the basket. Toma? Slavec and Matja? Kodek from Kranj Slovenia developed special basket (long pillar sunk in the water, with basket on the end at one meter over water level), the ball, an made playing rules. All disadvantages of previous described version of water basketball were removed. There is no wall and floating basket problem, the game became very dynamical as hockey because it could be played behind the basket. These game is playd also in Hungary in Pecs.College basketball is a basketball competitive governance structure established by the United States' National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Basketball in the NCAA is divided into three divisions: Division I, Division II, and Division III. The history of college basketball can be traced back to a YMCA International Training School, known today as Springfield College, located in Springfield, Massachusetts. The creation of basketball can be credited to a physical education teacher named James Naismith. During the winter of xxxx, Naismith was given two weeks to come up with a game that would keep track athletes in shape and that could still prevent them from getting hurt. The first recorded basketball game was played on December 21, xxxx and thus college basketball had been born.[1]After the first game people were impressed by the amount of fun the game was. Many students that went home from school took the game of basketball with them and the game became an instant success. By xxxx, many colleges had basketball teams that were playing each other, including the University of Kansas Jayhawks that was being coached by Naismith himself. The first doubleheader was played in New York City, at Madison Square Garden in xxxx. The two games were between New York University and Notre Dame and Westminster and St John's. New York University won 25?18 and Westminster won 37?33. This symbolized the growth of basketball and how it had expanded and gained popularity all across the United States.The first national tournament that came about was the NIT, or National Invitation Tournament, in xxxx. Every tournament was played at Madison Square Garden in New York. A year later, another tournament was implemented by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). This tournament's location varied from year to year, so more fans could come see games being played instead of having to travel to New York. Although the NIT was created first and was considered more prestigious than the NCAA for several decades, it lost popularity over time to the NCAA Tournament. In xxxx, the NCAA ruled that no team could compete in both tournaments, in effect indicating that if a team were eligible for the NCAA tournament, it would have to play in it.[2] Since then, the NCAA tournament has clearly been the major one, with conference champions and the majority of the top-ranked teams participating in it.[3] Through the xxxxs and xxxxs, with UCLA leading the way with ten NCAA Tournament championships, a shift in power to teams from the west increased the attention shift away from the New York City-based NIT. When the NCAA tournament expanded its field of teams from 25 to 32 in xxxx, then to 48 in xxxx, then to 64 in xxxx, and then to 68 teams in xxxx, interest gradually grew in the NCAA tournament because it contained more teams than the NIT, as well as utilizing more distributed competition locations. In xxxx, the field expanded to 68 teams and the last 8 teams playing for four spots making the field into 64, which is called the first round and so on. The former first round is called the second round, the second round is called the third round, and the Sweet Sixteen is the same, but it is technically the fourth round in the current format, etc.[4]In past decades, the NBA held to tradition and drafted players who had graduated from college. This was a mutually beneficial relationship for the NBA and colleges?the colleges held onto players who would otherwise go professional, and the NBA did not have to fund a minor league. As the college game became commercialized, though, it became increasingly difficult for "student athletes" to be students. A growing number of poor and under-educated, but highly talented, teenage basketball players found the system exploitative?they brought in funds to schools where they learned little and played without income.The American Basketball Association began to employ players who had not yet graduated college. After a season of junior college, a season at the University of Detroit, and an Olympic gold medal, Spencer Haywood played the xxxx?70 season with the ABA's Denver Rockets. He signed with the NBA's Seattle SuperSonics in xxxx, before his college class graduation, defying NBA rules. Haywood pleaded that, as his family's sole wage earner, he should be allowed to earn a living in the NBA or else his family would face destitution. The ensuing legal battle went to the U.S. Supreme Court which ruled in xxxx that the NBA does not have the same antitrust exemption enjoyed by Major League Baseball. Thereafter, collegiate players demonstrating economic hardship were allowed early entry into the NBA draft. The hardship requirement was eliminated in xxxx.In xxxx, Moses Malone joined the Utah Stars of the American Basketball Association (which became part of the NBA after the ABA?NBA merger in xxxx) straight out of high school and went on to a Hall of Fame career. The past 30 years have seen a remarkable change in the college game. The best international players routinely skip college entirely, many American stars skip college (Shawn Kemp, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Dwight Howard, Amar'e Stoudemire, and LeBron James) or only play one year (Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Kevin Durant, and Greg Oden), and only a dozen or so college graduates are now among the 60 players selected in the annual NBA draft. Fewer high schoolers will progress directly to the NBA without at least one year of college basketball beginning in xxxx; citing maturity concerns after several incidents involving young players, the labor agreement between players and owners now specifies that players must turn 19 years of age during the calendar year of the draft to be eligible. Additionally, U.S. players must be at least one year removed from their high school graduation.The pervasiveness of college basketball throughout the nation, the large population of graduates from "major conference" universities, and the NCAA's marketing of "March Madness" (officially the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship), have kept the college game alive and well. Some commentators have argued that the higher turnover of players has increased the importance of good coaches. Many teams have been highly successful, for instance, by emphasizing personality in their recruiting efforts, with the goal of creating a cohesive group that, while lacking stars, plays together for all 4 years and thus develops a higher level of sophistication than less stable teams could achieve.An NCAA game is divided into two halves, each 20 minutes long, while NBA games are played in four quarters of 12 minutes each and WNBA games are played in 10-minute quarters. The NCAA shot clock gives a men's team 35 seconds to shoot and a women's team 30 seconds, while the shot clock used in both the NBA and WNBA gives teams 24 seconds. Also, NCAA men's teams are allowed 10 seconds to move the ball past the halfcourt line, and NCAA women's teams have no time limit on moving the ball past the halfcourt line, while NBA and WNBA rules allow only 8 seconds. However, like the NBA and WNBA (and high school basketball), during the last minute of each half, the game clock keeps time remaining in the period measured in tenths of a second, rather than full seconds.Though the height of the basket, the foul line's distance from the backboard, and the court dimensions are the same, the distance between the three-point line and the backboard is different. The NBA three-point line measures 23 feet 9 inches (7.24 m) at the top of the circle, or 22 feet (6.7 m) in the corners or baseline.[6] On the NCAA court, the three-point line had been a constant 19 feet 9 inches (6.02 m), but the NCAA Rules Committee voted in May xxxx to extend it a foot more to 20 feet 9 inches (6.32 m), which became effective beginning the xxxx?09 season.[7] The WNBA's three-point line is 6.25 m (20 ft 6 in), which FIBA used before it extended its three-point arc to 6.75 m (22 ft 1 1/2 in) at the top of the circle and 6.6 m (21 ft 8 in) at the corners and baseline. The NCAA lane measures 12 feet (3.7 m) in width, while the NBA and WNBA lane is 16 feet (4.9 m); the FIBA lane is marginally wider than the NBA/WNBA lane at exactly 4.9 m (16 ft 1 in).NCAA players are allowed five personal fouls before fouling out, as opposed to their NBA counterparts, who are allowed six. This maintains the same ratio of minutes of play per foul allowed, eight. However, the WNBA allows players six personal fouls despite playing the same number of minutes as the NCAA. The number of team fouls allotted is also different. In all three competitions, team fouls can be categorized as shooting or non-shooting. A shooting foul occurs when a player gets fouled in the act of shooting (while airborne), giving him the chance to shoot free throws. A common foul (non-shooting foul) consists of all other fouls, including making contact with the opposing player while "reaching in" to steal the ball.A team may make a certain number of non-shooting fouls per period before the opposing team is awarded free throws. In the NBA and WNBA, the fifth team foul in a quarter places the team in penalty. For every foul starting with the fifth, whether it's shooting or non-shooting, the opposing team receives two free throws. In addition, if an NBA or WNBA team has not entered the penalty in the last two minutes of a period, its team foul count is reset; the second team foul in the last two minutes triggers the penalty. In the NCAA, the penalty begins with the seventh team foul in a half. However, the fouled player must make the first free throw in order to get the second. This is called a "one and one" or "one and the bonus" situation. On the tenth team foul, the "double bonus" situation comes into play, meaning that every subsequent team foul results in two free throws for the opposing team. It should be noted that no free throws are shot at either level for a player control foul, which is an offensive foul (usually a charge). Unlike NBA/WNBA rules, the team foul count does not reset in the last two minutes of a half. Overtime periods are considered an extension of the second half under NCAA rules, but not under NBA/WNBA rules; in those leagues, the fourth team foul in any overtime period, or the second in the last two minutes, triggers the penalty.In college basketball, it is required by rule that the home team wears their white or light-colored jerseys while the visiting team wears their darker jersey color. The NBA, like most other professional sports leagues, lets the home team decide which uniform to wear, but with a few exceptions the home team has continued the tradition of the college game and wears white (or in the case of the Los Angeles Lakers for non-Sunday home games, gold) at home. This is for regular season play only; home teams always wear white during the playoffs. The WNBA, however, follows the college rule for all games.The NBA introduced a new dress code rule in xxxx. Now players are required to wear business casual attire whenever they are engaged in team or league business. This includes a long or short-sleeved dress shirt (collared or turtleneck), and/or a sweater; dress slacks, khaki pants, or dress jeans, and appropriate shoes and socks, including dress shoes, dress boots, or other presentable shoes, but not including sneakers, sandals, flip-flops, or work boots. The WNBA has a similar dress code, adjusted for standard women's attire. NCAA rules have no set dress code rule, leaving it up to individual teams or conferences.The NAIA also sponsors men and women's college-level basketball. The NAIA Men's Basketball National Championship has been held annually since xxxx (with the exception of xxxx), when it was established by James Naismith to crown a national champion for smaller colleges and universities. Unlike the NCAA Tournament, the NAIA Tournament features only 32 teams, and the entire tournament is contested in one week instead of three weekends. Since xxxx the NAIA National Tournament has been played in Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Missouri. (in xxxx?xxxx it was held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and xxxx?xxxx it was held at Municipal then Kemper Arena in Kansas City)In xxxx, Bill Clinton pushed for an anti-crime bill that would lead to 100,000 more police officers as well as a number of programs intended to "deter crime where it starts" by providing "community activities like midnight basketball".[1] The plan was widely lampooned by conservatives such as House Minority Whip Newt Gingrich, who cited midnight basketball as an ineffective and wasteful use of federal funds.[2] Some, such as Rush Limbaugh, even called the proposal racist, given the largely African American populations targeted by the program.[3] Midnight basketball was not a proposal unique to the Democrats as it was one of George H. W. Bush's "Thousand points of light".[4]The objective of the game was to throw the basketball, into the fruit baskets nailed to the lower railing of the gym balcony. Every time a point was scored, the game was halted so the janitor could bring out a ladder and retrieve the ball. Later, the bottoms of the fruit baskets were removed. The first public basketball game was played in Springfield, MA, on March 11, xxxx.[1] That day, he asked his class to play a match in the Armory Street court: 9 versus 9, using a soccer ball and two peach baskets. Frank Mahan, one of his students, wasn?t so happy. He just said: "Huh. Another new game".[2] However, Naismith was the inventor of the new game. Someone proposed to call it ?Naismith Game?, but he suggested "We have a ball and a basket: why don?t we call it basket ball"?[3] The eighteen players were: John J. Thompson, Eugene S. Libby, Edwin P. Ruggles, William R. Chase, T. Duncan Patton, Frank Mahan, Finlay G. MacDonald, William H. Davis and Lyman Archibald, who defeated George Weller, Wilbert Carey, Ernest Hildner, Raymond Kaighn, Genzabaro Ishikawa, Benjamin S. French, Franklin Barnes, George Day and Henry Gelan 1?0.[4] The goal was scored by Chase.[5] There were other differences between Naismith?s first idea and the game played today. The peach baskets were closed, and balls had to be retrieved manually, until a small hole was put in the bottom of the peach basket to poke the ball out using a stick. Only in xxxx were metal hoops, nets and back boards introduced. Moreover, earlier the soccer ball was replaced by a Spalding ball, similar to the one used today.[6][7]The First World War broke out in xxxx, and the U.S. Army started fighting in Europe in xxxx. During World War I, American Expeditionary Force brought basketball wherever they went. Together with the troops, there were hundreds of physical education teachers, who knew basketball quite well, and even James Naismith spent two years with YMCA in France, in that period. Not only did they bring basketball with them, but even the ?modern? basketball, that is the game as it was played in the United States at that time.[10]The Original Celtics, for instance, are considered the "fathers of basketball",[12] and were presented as "World?s Basketball Champions";[12] the players had to sign a contract to play with them and the Jim Furey, organized matches as a circus, moving daily from town to town. The Celtics became the strongest team, and their successes lasted from xxxx until xxxx, when the team disbanded due to ownership problems. The Original Celtics are sometimes incorrectly thought of as forebears of the current Boston Celtics of the NBA; in reality, they share only a name, as today's Celtics were not founded until xxxx, nearly two decades after the demise of the Original Celtics. In xxxx, the first all-African American professional team was founded: the Rens (also known as New York Renaissance or Harlem Renaissance).[13] The Rens were the Original Celtics? usual opponent, and for their matches a ticket cost $1.[14] They took part in some official championships and won the first World Professional Basketball Tournament in xxxx. The team disbanded in xxxx.
