BASKETBALL RULES/VIOLATIONS

Traveling: in basketball when you get the ball you're only to allowed to move one of your legs, the other is know as your pivot; you use it to turn and pivot but stationary. When you move your pivot before the ball touches leaves your hands, it is know as Traveling and the ball is given to the opposition team. Also, when dribbling the ball to score, you are only allowed to go two steps(FIBA rule) before jumping for a layup. When you go more than two steps it is blown as a Traveling.

Double dribble: when you get the ball and starting dribbling, holding it means you want to pass or take a shot at the hoop. Dribbling it again will be blown as double dribble. Also, when dribbling the ball, if it touches your body as you dribble it is also a double dribble.

Fouls: this is when a player gets hit, stopped or defended in a way which is not acceptable and could lead to injury. Fouls include: hitting, pushing,holding and wrongly blocking a player's movement. And even when attacking the opponent, the attacking team can make a foul which is know as an offensive foul.

Back-court: this is when a player dribbles the ball from their own half to the opponents half then crosses the half court line again. Players are not allowed to do that in basketball.

Goal tending: this is a bit complex to explain, but I'll do my best. This is when a player blocks the ball of an opponent after it touches the rim or when a player touches the rim when an opponent's ball is trying to get in.

P.S

Layup is when players drive to the rim and try to jump and get close to the rim as possible before letting go of the ball into the hoop.

Block is when a player hits the ball of an opponent out of the way before it gets to the hoop.
