	Basic Basketball Moves Without the Ball
		This "basketball position", as some coaches call it, is one of the least understood fundamentals of basketball.
		Just as getting a quick start is important in basketball, equally important is being able to come to a quick stop and still be in the "fundamental basketball position." There are many times, in the course of a game, where you get the ball on the run.
		By crouching as you land, you are now in the "fundamental basketball position." You are ready to shoot, receive a pass, or make a cut (a sharp, quick move made to get open) in another direction.

	One-on-one Basketball Moves
		When you practice these moves, be sure that you turn, face the basket, and assume proper basketball position: your feet a shoulder's width apart and pointed toward the basket, your knees are flexed, and your shoulders are facing the basket.
		When fighting for position down low, the most important thing to do is to present yourself as a good target for your teammates.
		If you are positioned down low on the ball side, but your man is keeping you from getting a pass, a good way to free yourself is with a reverse move.

	What are the Different Positions in Basketball?
		Small forward is one of the positions that requires the most versatility in a basketball player, as the player must be able to go down low and rebound while having the skills to get to the basket off the dribble and shoot from outside.
		The point guard is often considered the most important basketball position because, like the quarterback in football, it is the point guard's job to run the offense and distribute the ball.
		The positions in basketball are often referred to as numbers, from smallest to biggest, point guard being 1 and center being 5.

	SportsShooter.com - Basketball - Position for least # of butt shots
		Let's take basketball, for high level (bigger/faster) athletes, you really want a shutter speed of 1/500 (assuming your goal is to stop the action).
		I can't prove it, but I think the ref was looking back to see where I was and positioning himself between me and the action for the entire third quarter.
		Since I've started basketball season, I've noticed them being more aware of my presence, looking over their shoulders and scooting over, etc. For my part, I stay behind the agreed-upon invisble line parallel to the baseline--I rarely get tripped over anymore and when I do, apologies always follow.
