Basketball Rules Overview

The teams change baskets for the second half. All overtime periods are considered extensions of the second half. Five sides of the backboard (front, two sides, bottom and top) are considered in play when contacted by the basketball. The back of the backboard and the area directly behind it are out-of-bounds.
