The ball is out because the back of the backboard (goal) is outside of the court.
The backboard.
The basketball backboard is there to show ppl where to shot the ball to get it in.
i read about it in the complete idiots guide to basketball the first basketball goal was made out of a peach basket,pole and a soccer ball - alex
If the basketball touches the side of, or goes over, the backboard, then the ball is called out of bounds and the play is called dead.
because if it doesn't have any spin it my be too strong or if it bounces off the backboard or the back of the rim that it will spin back into the basket
There was a basket...and a ball...and they tried getting the ball IN the basket...hence basketball
The backboard is used to bank the ball off of. The box on the backboard (right above the basket) is used as a guide. If you hit certain spots from certain sides of the goal, the ball will always go in the basket if thrown with the right technique.
only if the ball comes off of the rim or backboard of the basket
James Naismith called his invention "Basket Ball".
no it was called peach ball because he used peach baskets as the basket
