Abstract
A new method to determine the coefficient of static friction for a round inflated ball is presented. Comparison of the coefficient of static friction between the National Basketball Association (NBA) original leather, ``short-lived{''} synthetic, collegiate and playground basketballs on glass, wood, acrylic and powder-coated metal arc presented. Results show that the original leather bail has a more robust coefficient-of-friction (COF) while the synthetic game-ball behaves poorly, especially when wet.
