- The basket is the goal consisting of the ring and net that a team shoots at.
- Each team (NFHS & NCAA) shoots at the basket opposite their bench for the first half.
- Teams change baskets at halftime.
- NOTE:
- In Pro rules, the visiting team chooses the basket they want to shoot at during the first half. Teams will still switch baskets at halftime.
- If teams are accidentally shooting at the wrong basket during the game:
- Officials should correct the direction immediately.
- All points scored and time consumed remain the same.
- A try for goal must be directed at a team’s own basket to be legal.
