Abstract: This study was conducted in an attempt to provide basketball instructors or coaches with a single skill test with which to objectively measure basketball playing ability. The judges' ratings served as the criterion for test validation. The Glassow, Colvin, and Schwarz bounce and shoot skill test was selected for further investigation because it combined the essential skills of basketball with gamelike situations which could be objectively measured and it was easy to administer. According to a factor analysis study of basketball skill tests by Leilich (22), the Glassow, Colvin, and Schwarz bounce and shoot test had a correlation coefficient of r = .63 with the basketball motor ability factor. The original version of the Glassow, Colvin, and Schwarz bounce and shoot skill test was administered to 15 members of the women's intercollegiate basketball team of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and 10 members of the women's intercollegiate basketball team of High Point College. A revised form of the test which omitted the subjectively imposed penalties of running with the ball, double bounce, and failure to start from behind the twenty - four inch line was administered to both teams. All players were rated subjectively on playing ability by three judges during the regular season games.
