Five rules of basketball game
Answers
Answer:
1. The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands.
Current rule: This is still a current rule, except that now the team isn't allowed to pass it back over the midcourt line once they have taken it over that line.
2. The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands, but never with the fist.
Current rule: This is still a current rule.
3. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowance to be made for a man running at good speed.
Current rule: Players can dribble the ball with one hand as they run or pass, but they can't run with the ball when catching a pass.
4. The ball must be held by the hands. The arms or body must not be used for holding it.
Current rule: Still applies, it would be a traveling violation.
5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, striking or tripping in any way of an opponent. The first infringement of this rule by any person shall count as a foul; the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made or, if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game. No substitution shall be allowed.
Current rule: These actions are fouls and a player may be disqualified with five or six fouls or get an ejection or suspension with a flagrant foul.
