The rules of basketball are the rules and regulations that govern the play, officating, equipment and procedures of basketball. The international rules are governed by the Technical Commission of the International Basketball Federation. Most leagues, including the National Basketball Association, govern their own rules.
History
The rules of basketball have undergone significant development since its invention in 1891.
Timeline of the evolution of the rules of basketball
