A. YesExplanation
In basketball, a three-point field goal is awarded when a player successfully shoots the ball from beyond the three-point line.

What is not a skill station in Individual Skills?
-
Shooting

Defense

Correct Answer
A. DefenseExplanation
Defense is not a skill station in Individual Skills because it is not a specific skill that can be practiced or developed in isolation. Shooting, dribbling, and passing are all skills that can be practiced individually and improved upon through focused training. However, defense is a more dynamic and situational aspect of the game that relies on a combination of skills such as footwork, anticipation, and positioning. It is best developed through game-like scenarios and drills that simulate real-game situations rather than in isolation as a skill station.Rate this question:

An athlete on defense can cross the free throw line once the offensive player has passed the ball in or on any live ball change of possession. This means that the defensive player is allowed to cross the free throw line when the offensive team loses possession of the ball, either through a turnover or when the ball is inbounded. The defensive player must wait for this specific moment before crossing the free throw line.Rate this question:

What is the only basketball event a coach can stand under the basket?
-
Full Court
-
Half Court
-
Unified Basketball
-
Individual Skills
Correct Answer
A. Half CourtExplanation
In a half court basketball game, the coach can stand under the basket. This is because in a half court game, the playing area is divided into two halves, with only one basket being used. This allows the coach to be close to the action and provide guidance and instructions to the players. In contrast, in a full court game, there are two baskets and the coach typically stands on the sidelines. Unified Basketball and Individual Skills events may also have coaches standing under the basket, but the question specifically asks for the only basketball event where this is possible, which is Half Court.Rate this question:
