Basketball Athlete Next to the Team Bench

Substitutions and tactical coaching happen right beside the team bench during a basketball game. Players rest on the bench between rotations while watching the action on the court.

Court Sidelines and Player Gear

Basketball players often wear protective pads on their knees or elbows to absorb impact during quick pivots and falls. The team bench area is situated just beyond the court boundaries so coaches can direct strategy.
