A dead ball typically occurs in basketball after the ref calls a foul or when a foul has been shot, another one is going to be made, and/or the ball has gone out of bounds. The term of a “dead ball” refers to the ball not being playable. The NBA has defined that this is a good time for player substitutions to be made, especially if a player is injured during play. However, the answers given here aren’t quite right. A dead ball is typically called by the ref, yes, but if it rebounds and doesn’t go out of play, that’s not a dead ball. Instead, the ref is left to call it if he sees something that would make it a foul instead of just a rebound.

Becoming a more efficient basketball player requires a lot of self-restraint, practice, discipline, and dedication. Discipline however, is the most important of all these. This is because those players who are disciplined, happen to practice regularly against all odds. This is what makes them great indeed and sets them apart from the regular players who do not practice at all. It is said that in order to become expert at anything, one needs to invest in at least 10000 hours of constant practice. So following this route, you can almost certainly easily become an efficient basketball player in no time.

C would also make them angry because they also need their balls to play basketball. D is a safe answer as well, but it isn't guaranteed that speaking to them will have a positive reaction. Answer E could also be correct, but in my case, I know that I would probably run away from the player and the situation.

There are many correct answers to this question. It is difficult to confidently say what the issue is without seeing the player in action. It could be something that could be resolved by practice. One reason could be height. The player could be too short or too tall to succeed in the jump shot effectively. Another reason is that a player could have an issue with jumping and releasing the ball at the same time. Jumping and releasing must be done at the same time, and for some people, it is difficult to do those two things at the same time.

The correct answer to this question is 1892. Four years later, the first women's college basketball game took place on April 4, 1896. The game was between the colleges Stanford and the University of California. From then on, women continued making history in basketball. Before a woman was allowed in the Harlem Globetrotters, it was an all-male team. Later, Olympian Lynette Woodward became the first female on the team in 1985. Before this, the WBA was created in 1977. At the time of creation, there were eight teams in the league. The league only lasted for three seasons, but today we have the WNBA.
