—A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or
upon completion of a dribble may use a two-count rhythm in coming to
a stop or in getting rid of the ball.
The first count occurs:
(a) as he receives the ball if either foot is touching the floor at the
time he receives it, or
(b)
as either foot touches the floor or as both feet touch the floor
simultaneously after he receives the ball if both feet are off the
floor when he receives it.
The second count occurs when, after the count of one, either foot
touches the floor or both feet touch the floor simultaneously.
When a player comes to a legal stop, if one foot is in advance of
the other he may pivot but the rear foot only may be used as the pivot
foot. However, if neither foot is in advance of the other, he may use
either foot as the pivot foot.

RULE 6
Scoring and Timing Regulations
50. Goal—When Made
A goal is made when the ball enters the basket from above and
remains in or passes through.
51. Value of Goal
A goal from the field counts
2
points; a goal from a free throw
counts one point. A goal from the field counts for the team attacking
the basket into which the ball is thrown.
Should a player, by mistake, execute a free throw into his own
basket, the try shall be annulled, whether successful or not, and a new
try shall be granted at the right basket.
52. Decision of Game
A game shall be decided by the scoring of the greater number of
points in the playing time.
When during a game the number of players of a team on the court
shall be less than two, the game shall end. If the team which has less
than two players on the floor is ahead in the score or the score is
a tie, their opponents shall win the game by a score of
2
to 0. If the
team which has less than two players on the floor is behind in the
score the opponents shall win the game with the score recorded at that
moment.
