Basketball is a popular sport that many people play and watch. There are five players in each team: the starters, who play most of the game; and subs, who come into the game when their team is behind or needs extra players. Each game has two teams (one has white uniforms while the other wears blue), which consist of five players each (four starters plus one substitute). In basketball, there are also officials who keep track of things like fouls and points scored.

A basketball team has five players, who are called starters.

A basketball team has five players, who are called starters. There are also substitutes and a head coach. The five starters will play most of the time during the game while the substitutes only play when needed or if one of the stars gets injured or tired.

The head coach directs all activities on court from his vantage point high above everyone else in an elevated chair called a “coach’s box.” He communicates with his players by calling out plays and giving directions through an electronic device known as a headset (or wireless headset).

The remaining players are called substitutes.

The remaining players are called substitutes. They can be used in many ways, such as to give the starters a rest or to bring in fresh players. The coach may also use substitutes to change the team’s strategy if he thinks it will improve their performance on the court.

The number of players allowed on each team will vary depending on what level of competition they are playing at, but most high school teams have five or six starters and two or three substitutes (plus one head coach).

The head coach decides which players play in each game.

The head coach is responsible for the team’s success, and he or she makes all the decisions about who plays in each game. The head coach decides which players will start and how long they play. He also determines what strategy to use during games, as well as tactics such as where to position players on the court at any given time.

The assistant coaches help with practice and assist the head coach with strategy decisions during games by providing feedback on different situations throughout the match–how well a player is performing, what adjustments can be made in response to an opponent’s playstyle or lineup changes (such as bringing in another player), etcetera

Takeaway:

As a basketball player, it’s important to know that your coach decides who plays and who sits on the bench. A team can have up to five players in its starting lineup at any time during a game, but it’s rare for them all to play at once.

The remaining players are called substitutes; they wait their turn on the bench as their teammates play out their shifts on court. When one member of your starting five leaves or fouls out (meaning he has been penalized so many times that he must leave), another person from off-court takes his place in the lineup until there are no more substitutions left before halftime or until someone else fouls out later in the game–whichever comes first!

The only exception is if two players get injured during play; then both would likely leave simultaneously so neither team would be disadvantaged by having fewer than five players on hand at any given moment.

In conclusion, a basketball team has five players, who are called starters. The remaining players are called substitutes. The head coach decides which players play in each game.
