OK Im a bit of a fan of most sports and this evening have been watching the Duke - UNC game from last Wednesday night and would like to ask a few questions about the game. Firstly appologies on how stupid the questions maybe but I need to get some answers to assist me.
1) What exactly is a Field Goal?
2) What are the rules on players in Collage basketball?
3) How long do players get to stay playing for collage teams?
4) Where do they go after Collage basketball, surely they all dont go to the NBA?
5) Are all home supports like the Duke support? by that I mean colourful and loud.
6) I know why shot fouls go to the free throw line but why do other fouls go there too?
Im sure that I will think of some more in due course however I would like to make the following opservations about the game.
1) The crowd were exceedingly loud and colourful.
2) Although used to ice hockey (my #1 American sport) I found this game exceedingly fast and frantic.
3) Duke seemed to be slow off the staring blocks in the two halfs going down 11 early on in the first and then loosing wha appeared a good in the second and then failing to recover from going down.
4) Dukes #3 Paulus seemed to be everywhere early on making some great plays. I presume he is one tio watch in the future to hit the NBA

1) A field goal is basically any shot other than a free throw made from inside the three-point arc.
2/3) The National Collegiate Athletic Association regulates the requirements for student participation in college sports. There are lots of rules, but all students have only four years of eligibility and have to making passing grades in school.
4) Only a very small percentage of college players go on to the NBA. Some go on to play for other professional leagues in Europe and Canada. Most simply get their degree and go into the work force or graduate school.
5) No, not all home crowds are as intense as Duke's "Cameron Crazies." Basketball is almost a religion at Duke, and it's not a a religion of peace and love.
6) Shot fouls, flagrant fouls and technical fouls are all penalized with two shots. After a certain number of team fouls (I forget how many, exactly--I think it might be 8) in a half, every foul in "one and one"--that is, if you make the first shot, you get a second. Then, after 10 team fouls, all fouls are automatically 2 shots.
Hope this helps!
Hi Dave
Thanks helped a bit, atleast I know that all basketball matches wont be as mad as the Blue Duke Support.
Think Ill get the hang of the free throws I guessed it was something like that but didnt know if it was a time thing.
