These fields are all something that\u00a0has\u00a0some sort of connection to that of sports including basketball.\u00a0Coaching and management are the obvious one for being interested in this topic as this directly relates to them.\u00a0Sports\u00a0science\u00a0has an interest in communication in basketball as\u00a0sports\u00a0science will relate to all different\u00a0aspects of science through sport which could include the psychology of\u00a0players\u00a0or the effect communication can have on a game or team.\r\n\r\nCommunication in basketball\u00a0while it may not seem like\u00a0there is much relation between the topic and writing studies.\u00a0There is it just is not presented up front or necessarily seen by people in the public.\u00a0It is more behind the scenes where you will see the communication\u00a0and writing come to life.\u00a0The most communication that you will see as an outsider of basketball is during the game and that is between timeouts and during the game with the talking and communicating between players and coaches.\u00a0However, outside of the games there is many other times where there is communication between players and coaches whether it be\u00a0in film or in practices.\u00a0Overall, without having communication in basketball between the players and coaches you are ultimately setting yourself and team up for disaster as it is one of the vital roles that is needed along with talent to ensure a successful team.\u00a0Basketball communication is influential in other sports also as you often will find terms that originated or are mostly used in basketball will sometimes get used\u00a0in other sports.\u00a0An example of how this is used is the term\u00a0\u201cboxout\u201d is often used or related towards the sport of basketball. However, that term of \u201cboxout\u201d\u00a0is also used in football in relation to receivers \u201cboxing out\u201d the defender\u00a0to keep them away from making a break on the football as easy.\r\n\r\nTo begin this paper, I will begin with an introduction that will introduce the topic\u00a0of\u00a0communication in basketball along with the reasoning for writing this paper.\u00a0I will then introduce what academic fields have an interest in this topic which can be found in the paragraph above.\u00a0The personal connection that I have to this topic will then be discussed next\u00a0along with personal experiences that I have had while being a part of basketball and the communication aspect of it.\u00a0Then I will end it with the thesis statement to help lead into my first body paragraph.\u00a0Communication and literacy in basketball can play a large role in the\u00a0success of a team.\r\n\r\nTo address my first research question of \u201cWhat kind of literacy practices do basketball players use?\u201d I will start off with\u00a0the different types of communication that go on\u00a0during a basketball game.\u00a0In doing this I start off by using the source, \u201cUsing Non-Verbal Communication in Sports\u201d\u00a0along with a source of \u201cThe Discourse of Basketball.\u201d\u00a0The last source that will be used is \u201cBODILY COMMUNICATION IN BASKETBALL\u201d which\u00a0covers another area of communication in basketball and that is being able to read the opponents body language along with your own teammates body language.\u00a0This\u00a0will help describe the communication that goes on in a game and practices between players and coaches.\u00a0To help with the understanding of discourses I will also use an article by James Gee called \u201cWhat is Literacy.\u201d\u00a0With how communication\u00a0is used\u00a0in basketball now known I will use\u00a0more sources to help give examples of different examples of communication used in basketball. The first source I will use is Jeff Haefner\u2019s article \u201cHow to Develop Great Defensive Communication\u201d\u00a0along with Kyle Ohman\u2019s \u201cThe Value of Communication in Basketball\u201d and Christopher Riches \u201cDefining Communication\u00a0Between Half Court Defenders.\u201d\u00a0I will use different examples from these three articles on communication that gets used between players and coaches to help them throughout\u00a0a\u00a0game.\u00a0Continuing on\u00a0with this topic of communication between players I will explain the importance that having these good communication skills and words can help boost a team. In not only helping each other out but could ultimately lead to a win for your team.\u00a0This will then lead me to my next research question.\r\n\r\nMy second research question is \u201cWhat kinds of research has been done on basketball communication?\u201d\u00a0I will discuss how this\u00a0research is able to show how it can help along with a team and the success they have.\u00a0To help support this statement I will the source by Phillip Furley and Geoffrey Schweizer \u201cI\u2019m Pretty Sure that We Will Win!

Pulling out the main ideas from the two paragraphs\u00a0and going into more detail while explaining them more as compared to the importance\u00a0to\u00a0communication in basketball.\u00a0I will then combine this stuff into the conclusion paragraph of the paper where I restate the thesis and main ideas that I wanted to get across\u00a0as discussed in the beginning.\u00a0The main idea is just how important communication\u00a0in basketball\u00a0is between not only the success\u00a0of a team but how well cohesively they are between each other.\u00a0As\u00a0communication\u00a0will often bring teams closer together\u00a0and help the chemistry between them.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Annotated Bibliography<\/p>\r\nAlexander, Danielle, et al. \u201cCoaches\u2019 Use of Positive Tactile Communication in Collegiate\u00a0Basketball.\u201d\u00a0<em>International Sport Coaching Journal<\/em>\u00a0(2021): 91-100\r\n\r\nThrough this article it was discussed on how using positive communication between the coach and players can increase the performance of players. In it would also talk about how bonds between teammates grows stronger with the more positive communication rather than the use of negative communication.

It was determined that most players have one player that they prefer to communicate with while on the floor. They still all would communicate with one another while being on the floor just not as much as they did with others.

There was primary discourse, secondary discourse, and dominant discourse. The primary discourse is communication that you learn from living within your household.

Through effective communication Haefner described examples of communication words that are used while in a game such as saying \u201cScreen\u201d or \u201cSkip\u201d. While discussing how communication can be improved it details drills or different ways to incorporate it while practicing. Defense was described as the side of basketball that was most important in the game, while even though it is important on offense it is more important on defense.\r\n\r\nOhman, Kyle. \u201cThe Value of Communication in Basketball.\u201d n.d.\u00a0<em>Basketball HQ<\/em>. 15 March 2021.\r\n\r\nThe article by Ohman is talking about the different aspects that are\u00a0taken into account\u00a0with the importance of having communication in basketball. It goes on discussing how and when the communication needs to take place whether it is making sure it is loud communication or having relevance in the communication. Communication in basketball creates different responsibilities for different players throughout a team and in doing so creates accountability for the players that are on the basketball court.\r\n\r\nRaiola, Gaetano, et al. \u201cBODILY COMMUNICATION IN BASKETBALL\u201d\u00a0<em>Sport Science 8<\/em>\u00a0(2015):13-18.\r\n\r\nIn this article, the authors describe\u00a0how \u201cbodily communication\u201d is used\u00a0by players to each other and portrays there feeling\u00a0during the game.\u00a0They would run research of players\u00a0throughout a game and\u00a0the way they reacted to certain things or events.

This article describes different examples of communication that is used between the players while playing defense. The use of these terms by the team\u00a0ensure\u00a0that everyone is on the same page while communicating on defense.
