 BASKETBALL UNIFORM
• When one starts coaching a basketball team,
the most important requirement for a team is
to have a uniform. This helps one
differentiate teams from one another. A
uniform consists of a jersey (shirt), shorts,
numbers on the front and back of the shirts
for identification
 SHOT CLOCK

• The offense is allowed a maximum of 24

seconds to have a ball in hand before shooting.
These 24 seconds are counted on the shot clock.
If the offense fails to shoot a ball that hits the
rim, they will lose the possession of the ball to
the other team.
 WHISTLE AND STOPWATCH

• The coach or referee uses a whistle to indicate the

start or end of a game. S/he can even use the whistle
to stop the play in the middle of a game. Whistle also
helps to indicate fouls, timeout, or out of bound balls
to the players. In order to get the attention of the
players, many times coaches use the whistle to gather
the players.
 SCORESHEET/BOOK
• The score sheet is the official record
of the game. If there are any
disputes, the officials will refer to
the score sheet. Please check before
you start that all players are listed,
the coaches’ names are recorded,
and the correct teams named.

• It includes number of fouls, scores,

time-outs, quarter time, half time,
¾ time and end-of-the-game.
