Key Rules of Basketball
1. Game Duration:
Professional games are typically played in four quarters, each lasting 12 minutes. College games are played in two halves of 20 minutes each.
2. Scoring:
A field goal scores 2 points if shot from within the three-point line and 3 points if shot from beyond the line. Free throws, awarded after certain fouls, score 1 point each.
3. Dribbling:
Players must dribble the ball while moving; taking steps without dribbling (traveling) results in a turnover.
4. Fouls:
Personal fouls occur when players make illegal physical contact. After a team accumulates a certain number of team fouls, opponents are awarded free throws.
5. Shot Clock:
Teams have 24 seconds (NBA) or 30 seconds (NCAA) to make a shot after gaining possession of the ball. Failing to do so results in a turnover.
6. Positions:
Players typically play one of five positions: Point Guard, Shooting Guard, Small Forward, Power Forward, or Center. Each position has specific roles and responsibilities.
