Is it out of bound if the ball hits the side of the backboard in basketball?
that made no sense at all... It does make sense or atleast I understand, I do believe that it is considered out of bounds. I could be wrong but I think that if it goes over the backboard most refs call that out.
I have a basketball net and a backboard and I need to know how you can put it over my garage without nails or glue so how do I do it?
You get a backboard mounting kit at Wal-Mart
Can a basketball legally hit the top of the backboard?
It is not legal under NCAA rules:Art. 3. The ball shall be out of bounds when it passes over the backboardfrom any direction.In NBA the rule is slightly different:b. Any ball that rebounds or passes directly behind the backboard, in either direction, from any point is considered out-of-bounds.Note the word 'directly'. Here's the official interpretation from NBA vice president of referee operations Joe Borgia in 2009:"Think of the backboard as a long tunnel that goes straight back," Borgia said. "If the ball goes through that tunnel, it's a violation. If you looked at Rondo's shot, it was an arching shot up and over the backboard. It never passes through the tunnel."This is why Bird's shot is waived off while other shots that flew over the backboard but not from behind the backboard are valid.Bird's shot is legal under FIBA rules.
What is the height of the basketball backboard?
The rim of a basketball net is always a standard 10 feet from the ground, whereas the backboard is not. Glass backboards generally don't extend lower than a few inches below the rim, making them somewhere over 9 feet from the ground.
Can the basketball go over the goal and roll back in when playing?
no it can not. once it hits or goes over the top of the backboard it is officially out of bounds and its the other teams ball
How long does it take to make a basketball?
its not how long you have to pump it, its how the ball bounces. its a good ball if you drop it from your head and it bounces at least to your hip
What happens when you make contact on a basketball court?
Yes you can, but you can't intentionally push someone over. Basketball, on paper, is not a contact sport, but when you actually play it, it is.
If the ball goes over the backboard in the NBA is it out of bounds?
The Ball is still in play. Back surface is the only out-of-bounds part of the backboard. (Supporting elements, such as pipes or poles or arms, etc. are obviously not part of the backboard or rim and are out of bounds.)The ball traveling OVER the top of the backboard is OUT of bounds. I believe this rule was put in place because Wilt Chamberlain would score from the other side of the board.Some sources say that if the backboard is 'fan shaped' or arched top, then the over-top rule does not apply, but does if the backboard is rectangle.It's amazing to me how many times this happens at the gym and players call it out of bounds. Cmon! You gotta know the rules if you want to play the game. No one ever knows this rule, but here it is:Rule 4, Section I - c. All five sides of the backboard (top, bottom, both sides and front face) are in play. As long as the shot stays on the top of the backboard, it is still in bounds. When it falls through the basket, the goal counts. But once the ball crosses over the backboard - regardless of where it comes to rest - it is out of bounds.
If a basketball player throws the ball off the backboard the ball does not hit the rim and he catches the ball is that travelling?
Probably no. If you shoot it OVER the rim and it hits nothing, it will go out of bounds and be awarded to the other team.If the shot is from the corner, a team mate could get a rebound and pass it back.So, possibly, but not likely.AnswerNo, that would be considered travelling. Well think about this if you shoot the ball over the backboard it will likely go out of court and tha ball will be awarded to the other team. but also even if you did shoot the ball over the backboard it is called a voilation of the rules so the other team will get the ball so most likely the other team will get the basketball even if the same team catches the ball
Can you inbound ball over the backboard?
If you throw it in the square on the backboard correctly. it will most likely go in. :D
Are you allowed to shoot a free throw off the backboard?
Yes you can shoot any shot with the backboard, sometimes people say it looks bad. It actually increases your percentage when you use the backboard. Yes, it is perfectly legal to shoot a free throw off the backboard. Some might say that it looks bad, but whatever allows you to make the free-throw, besides stepping over the line or taking too long is alright! Yah, but it's doesn't always look that great. It's best to swish every single one!!
Is it legal to dribbling basketball above your shoulder?
That is legal, as long as your hand only touches the top hemisphere of the ball.
