Another advanced style of passing is the behind - the - back pass , which , as the description implies , involves throwing the ball behind the passer 's back to a teammate . Although some players can perform such a pass effectively , many coaches discourage no - look or behind - the - back passes , believing them to be difficult to control and more likely to result in turnovers or violations .
Colonial history of the United States
Sports occupied a great deal of attention at every social level , starting at the top . In England , hunting was sharply restricted to landowners and enforced by armed gameskeepers . In America , game was more than plentiful . Everyone could and did hunt , including servants and slaves . Poor men with good rifle skills won praise ; rich gentlemen who were off target won ridicule . In 1691 , governor Sir Francis Nicholson organized competitions for the `` better sort of Virginians onely who are Batchelors , '' and he offered prizes `` to be shot for , wrastled , played at backswords , & Run for by Horse and foott .

America's Cup
Sporting the now famous Boxing Kangaroo flag and the controversial winged keel designed by Ben Lexcen , the hull of Australia II was kept under wraps between races and was subject to attempts by the NYYC to disqualify the boat . In the cup races , the Australians got off to a bad start with equipment failures and false starts giving the defenders a head start . But it was not to be a repeat of the last 132 years : the Australians came back to win the 1983 America 's Cup 4 -- 3 in a best - of - seven format . This was the first time the NYYC had lost the cup in 132 years and 26 challenges . Alan Bond joked that the cup would be renamed `` The Australia 's Cup '' . 1987
Basketball court
The key , free throw lane or shaded lane refers to the usually painted area beneath the basket ; for the NBA it is 16 feet ( 4.9 m ) wide , for the NCAA it is 12 feet ( 3.7 m ) wide ; for both instances it extends 15 feet ( 4.6 m ) from the backboard . At the top of the rectangle is the free throw line , behind which players shoot uncontested shots when they 're fouled . A circle is drawn around the free - throw line with a 6 feet ( 1.8 m ) radius ; this is used for jump ball instances , as is done at the center circle . Two 6 - inch hash lines , 3 ft from the free throw lane line and 5 ft 8 in from the free throw line , show the lower defensive box linked to the restricted area .
Basketball
A regulation basketball court in international games is 91.9 feet ( 28.0 meters ) long and 49.2 feet ( 15 meters ) wide . In the NBA and NCAA the court is 94 by 50 feet ( 29 by 15 meters ) . Most courts have wood flooring , usually constructed from maple planks running in the same direction as the longer court dimension . The name and logo of the home team is usually painted on or around the center circle .

A staple pass is the chest pass . The ball is passed directly from the passer 's chest to the receiver 's chest . A proper chest pass involves an outward snap of the thumbs to add velocity and leaves the defence little time to react .
Basketball
There is a second category of fouls called technical fouls , which may be charged for various rules violations including failure to properly record a player in the scorebook , or for unsportsmanlike conduct . These infractions result in one or two free throws , which may be taken by any of the five players on the court at the time . Repeated incidents can result in disqualification . A blatant foul involving physical contact that is either excessive or unnecessary is called an intentional foul ( flagrant foul in the NBA ) . In FIBA , a foul resulting in ejection is called a disqualifying foul , while in leagues other than the NBA , such a foul is referred to as flagrant .

Curling
The ice in the game may be fast ( keen ) or slow . If the ice is keen , a rock will travel farther with a given amount of weight ( throwing force ) on it . The speed of the ice is measured in seconds . One such measure , known as `` hog - to - hog '' time , is the speed of the stone and is the time in seconds the rock takes from the moment it crosses the near hog line till it crosses the far hog line . If this number is lower , the rock is moving faster , so again low numbers mean more speed . The ice in a match will be somewhat consistent and thus this measure of speed can also be used to measure how far down the ice the rock will travel . Once it is determined that a rock taking ( for example ) 13 seconds to go from hog line to hog line will stop on the tee line , the curler can know that if the hog - to - hog time is matched by a future stone , that stone will likely stop at approximately the same location . As an example , on keen ice , common times might be 16 seconds for guards , 14 seconds for draws , and 8 seconds for peel weight .
Curling
The slider is designed to slide and typically has a Teflon sole . It is worn by the thrower during delivery from the hack and by sweepers or the skip to glide down the ice when sweeping or otherwise traveling down the sheet quickly . Stainless steel was once common for slider soles , and `` red brick '' sliders with lateral blocks of PVC on the sole are also available . Most shoes have a full - sole sliding surface , but some shoes have a sliding surface covering only the outline of the shoe and other enhancements with the full - sole slider . Some shoes have small disc sliders covering the front and heel portions or only the front portion of the foot , which allow more flexibility in the sliding foot for curlers playing with tuck deliveries . When a player is not throwing , the player 's slider shoe can be temporarily rendered non-slippery by using a slip - on gripper . Ordinary athletic shoes may be converted to sliders by using a step - on or slip - on Teflon slider or by applying electrical or gaffer tape directly to the sole or over a piece of cardboard . This arrangement often suits casual or beginning players .
Curling
One of the basic technical aspects of curling is knowing when to sweep . When the ice in front of the stone is swept , a stone will usually travel both farther and straighter . In some situations , one of the two alterations in path is not desirable . For example , a stone may have too much weight , but require sweeping to prevent curling into a guard . The team must decide which is better : getting by the guard but traveling too far , or hitting the guard .

'' If he then stepped into his Corvette -- well , then , there you had it : the picture of the perfect Fighter Jock Away from Home .
Elsa (Frozen)
Travis Bean of Cedar Falls Times suggested that Elsa 's ice powers , a `` personal oddity '' that made her self - conscious , as well as her selflessness in withdrawing into isolation in order to avoid hurting others allowed children to connect more with the plot of Frozen . Laurie Levy from Chicago Now wrote that her young grandchildren `` admired Elsa for being smart , strong , magical , and powerful '' and did not care that she had no romantic subplot . Magdalena Lachowicz , a film critic for The Heights , opined that Elsa 's relationship with Anna was the most important part of the movie , and Stephen Holden of The New York Times liked that , in departure from traditional Disney formula , it was a sibling 's love rather than romantic love that was able to `` thaw the icy heart of the frightened Elsa '' . Tony Hicks of San Jose Mercury News wrote , `` ( Anna 's ) confusion and Elsa 's anguish as she shuts herself away from the world -- and her sister -- is palatable . '' Emma Koonse of Christian Post opined that together the sisters were Disney 's `` most lovable and charismatic characters yet '' , and Debbie Lynn Elias of Culver City Observer commented , `` Elsa and Anna are like two sides of a coin , both strong , albeit one through power and confidence and the other through clumsy sticktuitiveness and love .
