Il est remis en jeu par un adversaire se tenant au point de la ligne de touche la plus proche de l'endroit où la faute est commise. Si le ballon pénètre dans le panier immédiatement après la violation, le panier n'est pas valable. 3, record 1, French, - violation

Large quantities of drugs enter our country by boat each year. Drug smuggling is big business, often involving many people and a lot of money and equipment. Fortunately, such large-scale operations can be readily detected by those familiar with normal marine activity. The RCMP's Coastal Watch Program, in the fight against drug importation, wants to enlist the eyes of people in coastal communities. The program goal is two-fold : To teach people what to look for, and to help them effectively transmit any information to the appropriate law enforcement agency. If you are a recreational or professional boater, fuel dock attendant, or vessel broker, or if you live or work near the water, you can play a vital role in the Coastal Watch Program. By reporting suspicious or illegal activities, you can help cut the flow of illicit drugs to our youth and to the rest of the community. 1, record 3, English, - Coastal%20Watch%20Program

Chaque année, de grandes quantités de drogues entrent au pays par bateau. La contrebande de drogues est une activité commerciale de taille, mettant souvent en jeu de nombreux intervenants, d'importantes sommes d'argent et beaucoup d'équipement. Heureusement, les opérations d'une telle envergure peuvent facilement être décelées par ceux qui connaissent bien les activités maritimes normales. Le Programme de surveillance côtière de la GRC veut recruter les yeux et les oreilles des habitants des communautés côtières, pour lutter contre l'importation de drogues. Le but du programme est double : Enseigner aux gens quoi surveiller, les aider à transmettre efficacement tout renseignement au service d'application de la loi pertinente. Si vous êtes propriétaire d'un bateau de plaisance ou commercial, préposé à un quai de ravitaillement en combustible ou courtier maritime, ou si vous vivez ou travaillez près de l'eau, vous pouvez jouer un rôle vital dans le cadre du Programme de surveillance côtière. En signalant toute activité louche ou illégale, vous pouvez aider à endiguer le flot des drogues illicites avant qu'il n'atteigne nos jeunes et le reste de la communauté. 1, record 3, French, - Programme%20de%20surveillance%20c%C3%B4ti%C3%A8re
