Does knowing the dimensions of the court, mean you know the game of basketball?

I was wandering the same thing about these dimensions? How does this help you break down a 2-3 zone and attack it?

Here's a link to a good diagram if anyone wants to look at it a little closer...

Does knowing the dimensions of the court, mean you know the game of basketball?

The knowing the dimensions of your field of play, is extremely important to Coaches, for teaching purposes. We all know that a rim is 10' but not many know the length/width of the court. How much room on the baseline, does your player have. The total distance to shoot a FT. The room available, on the block. Both players and coaches, must have court awareness and understand various aspects of the game.

Spacing and press defense, are often effective based off the distance between defenders. Coaches will often designate an area or use actual distances.

 

Knowing these dimensions, don't help you breakdown the 2-3 zone actually but it does help with court awareness, placement of players, width of lane and distances to cover.

You are kidding, right?

Not at all, why would you ask. Do you not think, coaches don't emphasize court awareness.

 

You asked the question and I provided an answer.

So you think they spend some time every year at Holmes teaching the kids the diameter of the cylinder?

 

And I'm sure over at CovCath, they make a point of telling kids just how much room they have between the backboard and the baseline.

 

They paint the boundaries we have to play in. Most understand, step on an end or sideline, and that's a bad thing with the ball. Step over the line they painted for me to shoot a foul shot and that's a bad thing. Most would also realize the area painted in as the three second zone, means you can't stand there forever on offense.

 

All things, you need to teach a five or six year old just learning the game. But, after that, most of the rest of us who aren't on leashes learn to understand.

 

Not sure how this has anything at all to do with "knowing basketball," other than it doesn't.

Why are you so upset about some people learning some general information about the game?

No joke. This was just for fun!
