Answer 1

Answer:

Get a firm grasp of rules with the help of our quick roundup of the rules of basketball.

Length of a basketball game

The basketball game consists of four quarters of 10 minutes each.

Teams play one-way for two quarters, the other way for the next two.

There is a two-minute interval between the first and second period, and also between the third and fourth period, with 15 minutes for halftime.

Coaches can call two one-minute timeouts at anytime during the first half and three timeouts in the second half.

The clock stops when the referee's whistle blows. It stays stopped if free throws are being taken and starts again when the ball touches a player on court — so you get a full 40 minutes of actual basketball play.

Time limits in basketball

There are also time limits on a player in possession of the basketball with five main rules:

24-second rule

After a team gains possession of the ball, they have 24 seconds to shoot. Possession is handed to the other team if they fail to do so.

8-second rule

When a player has the ball in their own half or ‘backcourt’, they have 8 seconds to move the ball over the halfway line into the ‘frontcourt’. Otherwise they will lose possession.

5-second rule

A closely guarded player holding the ball has 5 seconds to either pass or advance the ball toward the hoop. When called, possession of the ball goes to the opposite team.

3-second rule

A player can only be in the opposition's rectangular ‘key’ area under the basket for 3 seconds. A foul will be called if the player does not leave within those 3 seconds.
