I am not sure what preparation you have had, but the book is obviously the best place to start, with Section 4 having Definitions. However, I found the book very confusing until I read a lot on this board and saw how it all fits together. Now it is generally much clearer to me. If you haven't had a class, you will need to do what you can reading the book and ask questions about situations that you aren't positive about after reading the book.
The definitions will get you in the right neighborhood in terms of understanding some of the things that you appear to want some help with, but you need to keep a finger in the definitions section and read the other sections to understand the rules. That is, when you are reading about violations and trying to understand situations ivolving double dribble, re-reading the definition of a dribble (including when a dribble begins and ends) is essential. when reading about backcourt, you need to re-read the definition of when a ball has each status, the definition of player and team control, etc. The rules are not written so that you can look at one line and understand an entire rule.
