Fast Five: Rules?

The game evolves with the rules...and rules and points of emphasis also change. 

I'm no Bill Belichick, I don't know every rule...but we can all learn. 

1. Traveling/sliding. Is sliding on the floor with the ball traveling? 


2. Illegal screens. Aside from moving screens, what constitutes illegal screens? 




Pictures are worth a thousand words. 

3. Illegal screen from behind.



Another example from NBA Video Rule book

4. Inbounding violations. After a violation, the inbounding player may step back but not side-to-side. 



5. Over the backboard


Rule: 7-1-2
ART. 2
The ball is out of bounds:
     a. When it touches or is touched by:
          1. A player who is out of bounds.
          2. Any other person, the floor, or any object on or outside a boundary.
          3. The supports or back of the backboard.
          4. The ceiling, overhead equipment or supports.
     b. When it passes over a rectangular backboard.


May God have mercy on us all.
