Violations
The ball may be advanced toward the basket by being shot, passed between players, thrown, tapped, rolled or dribbled (bouncing the ball while running).
The ball must stay within the court; the last team to touch the ball before it travels out of bounds forfeits possession.
The ball-handler may not move both feet without dribbling, known as traveling nor may he dribble with both hands or catch the ball in between dribbles, a violation called double dribbling.
A player’s hand cannot be under the ball while dribbling, failure to do so is known as carrying the ball.
The ball may not be kicked nor struck with the fist.
A violation of these rules results in loss of possession.
No player may interfere with the basket or ball on its downward flight to the basket, or while it is on the rim (or, in the NBA, while it is directly above the basket), a violation known as goaltending.
If a defensive player goaltends, the attempted shot is considered to have been successful. If a teammate of the shooter goaltends, the basket is cancelled and play continues.
Fouls
The referee signals when a foul has been committed.
An attempt to unfairly disadvantage an opponent through personal contact is illegal and is called a foul.
Free Throws
Players who are fouled either receive the ball to pass inbounds again, or receive one or more free throws if they are fouled in the act of shooting, depending on whether the ‘fouled’ shot was successful (I.e Two shots will be given if the shot is unsuccessful and one shot will be given if the shot is successful)
One pt (Male) and two pt (Ladies) is awarded for making a free throw.
