碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 國家發展研究所 === 106 === In this thesis, the main research objects are Taipei Municipal Songshan Senior High School, Private Nanshan Senior High School in Taiwan, Meisei High School, and Fukuoka Daiichi High School in Japan. The things that this study investigates are as follows. I.The internal systems of boy’s basketball teams in Taiwan and Japan： I-i.The formations of coach system and the coaches’ notions of training basketball players. I-ii.The training process and institutions of basketball players. I-iii.The differences in daily life culture between basketball players in Taiwan and Japan. II.The relationship between boy’s basketball teams and their external resources in Taiwan and Japan： II-i.The relationship between boy’s basketball teams and sponsors. II-ii.The off-site training and international activities. The main research findings are as follows. First, coach certificate in Taiwan is permanent; on the contrary, coach certificate in Japan is only valid for a year and coaches are required to participate in assembly to replace the old with a new one. The author thinks that the system of coach certificate in Taiwan needs to be revised and adopt Japan’s so as to set up a integral and systematic system. Second, the author finds that high school basketball teams in Taiwan are like professional ones; but in Japan, it is a part of school life. There are some limitations to join basketball team in Taiwan, so players are determined to engage in basketball earlier in life and hope to play for a lifetime. In addition, with a more complete sponsorship, the circumstances for players are better. By contrast, players in Japan determine to engage in basketball are later than in Taiwan. They will not late for class because of morning training and the rate that they have other talents is high so their career are not restricted to professional basketball players. Third, the style of playing is designed to overcome shortcomings. There are more isolation in Taiwanese playing style; in contrast, there are more team tactics in Japanese one. Coaches and players in Taiwan and Japan all consider that physics condition of players from Taiwan is better and the advantage of players from Japan is their speed. Through investigation, the author finds that players from Japan are averagely shorter and thinner than Taiwan. Since they are not as tall as their Taiwanese counterparts the Japanese players must rely on other factors such as speed and team cooperation, which has become the cornerstone of their playing style.Worth mentioning, in the investigation into who players adore and yearn for, all players of both teams from Taiwan worship NBA players, while half of players from Japan worship Japanese players and the reason may be related to the analogous playing style.
