It is when a defensive player stays in the paint not guarding a person for more than 3 seconds. It results in a technical foul and a free throw awarded to the other team. Here's the actual rule from the NBA rules website.\n\nSection VII—Defensive Three-\nSecond Rule\na. The count starts when the offensive\nteam is in control of the ball in the\nfrontcourt.\nb. Any defensive player, who is\npositioned in the 16-foot lane or the\narea extending 4 feet past the lane\nendline, must be actively guarding an\nopponent within three seconds.Actively\nguarding means being within arms\nlength of an offensive player and in a\nguarding position.\nc. Any defensive player may play any\noffensive player.The defenders may\ndouble-team any player.\nd. The defensive three-second count is\nsuspended when: (1) a player is in the\nact of shooting, (2) there is a loss of\nteam control, (3) the defender is actively\nguarding an opponent, (4) the defender\ncompletely clears the 16-foot lane or\n(5) it is imminent the defender will\nbecome legal.\ne. If the defender is guarding the player\nwith the ball, he may be located in the\n16-foot lane.This defender is not\nrequired to be in an actively\nguarding/arms distance position. If\nanother defender actively guards the\nplayer with the ball, the original\ndefender must actively guard an\nopponent or exit the 16-foot lane. Once\nthe offensive player passes the ball, the\ndefender must actively guard an\nopponent or exit the 16-foot lane.\nPENALTY:A technical foul shall be\nassessed.The offensive team retains\npossession on the sideline at the free\nthrow line extended nearest the point\nof interruption.The shot clock shall\nremain the same as when play was\ninterrupted or reset to 14 seconds,\nwhichever is greater.\nIf a violation is whistled during a\nsuccessful field goal attempt, the\nviolation shall be ignored and play shall\nresume as after any successful basket.

The NBA has always given the benefit of the doubt to the star players regardless of what team they play for Watch Tim Duncan sometimes if he misses its a foul hell if he shoves someone out of his way and drives to the basket while leaning into another player its a three point opportunity.

Yes it is a foul if you touch  aggressively the other player. Running after you dribble is called a traveling.  If you are in the 3 second box and they count you 3 second it is a foul.

Never foul a jump shooter espicially behind the 3 point line...when you do it twice somebody doesnt have there mind in the game.....

Like a 3 or 4...for two reasons...one it was Steve Nash, what is he like 5'10" come on. And second you clearly see on the replay that Nash drew the charge so it shouldn't have counted at all!

The defender gets a block, the shooter gets a missed FG, and the ball is conidered loose after the block, so there is no rebound or steal afterward.  However it is a turnover if the ball goes to the defender's team.

its when a player interferes with the ball going into the basket... while its on/around the rim

No, it has only been allowed since the 2001-2002 season, when they took the following determinations:\n1-Eliminated all existing illegal defense guidelines. \n2-Established a defensive 3-second rule, limiting the amount of time a defensive player may stand in the lane when he is not closely guarding someone. \n3-Reduced from 10 seconds to 8 seconds the amount of time a team will have to advance the ball past midcourt.\n4-Eliminated touch fouls by allowing brief contact initiated by a defensive player if it does not impede the progress of the player with the ball. \n\nHope this clarifies your doubts.

Each team is limited to no more than three (3) timeouts in the fourth period and no more than two (2) timeouts in the last two minutes of regulation play. (This is in addition to one 20-second timeout per half.)  The time outs do not carry over to the next half.  In overtime, the time outs also do not carry over.  In overtime periods each team shall be allowed three (3) 60-second timeouts regardless of the number of timeouts called or remaining during regulation play or previous overtimes. Teams are permitted no more than two timeouts in the last two minutes of the period.

The Illegal defense, or 'zone' defense rule was eliminated in the NBA a few years ago (the 2001-02 season). \n\nNow the only 'illegal defense' is  the "3 seconds in the key" rule:\n\nIf you're on defense and aren't aggresively guarding someone, you can't spend more than 3 seconds in the key at a time.

A couple of season ago, the NBA played around with the idea of reducing the three point arc.  During the season, players who didn't normally take threes were taking them.  \n\nThe following season, the reverted back to the old distance.  \n\nPersonally, I found it a bit too far when I tried to shoot in an NBA regulation court.  But since the distance is the same from the corners, I had no problem knocking those down from there.\n\nHope this was helpful.

The technical foul is really a play in its self. In college basketball a player can shoot a three, hit it, and a off the ball foul get called on another player not guarding the shooter, the person getting fouled hits both free throws. A two person 5 point play.\n\nOr shoot the three get fouled miss the free throw get your own rebound and put it back in. 5 points one player.

Two 15 minute overtime halves, having to be played all the way thru. If it is still tied then it will go into penalties

Four 15 minute quarters with a 15-minute halftime. \nThe clock stops for out-of-bounds plays or incomplete passes only in the last minute of each half or when the referee deems it necessary for penalties, injuries or timeouts. \nEach team is allowed three (3) time-outs per half.

Every penalty has a different value specified for it (false start--5 yds., pass interference--15 yds. or the spot of the foul, intentional grounding--10 yds. and loss of down, etc.)...if the distance of the penalty is more than half the distance to the goal, the penalty will be half the distance to the goal instead of what it's usually assigned (example: 5-yd false start penalty is enforced half-the-distance-to-the-goal if it's within the penalized team's 10-yd-line)\n\nAccepting the penalty is basically approving the enforcement of the penalty that's called, declining is essentially asking to forget the penalty and move on as if nothing ever happened.\n\nStrategy's pretty simple, accept it if it helps your team, decline it if it doesn't.  Usually teams will decline a penalty if declining it would lead to a 4th down or they'll decline a pass interference call if they got more than 15 yards out of the play...oh, and fyi, teams are not allowed to accept more than one penalty on the same play, so they automatically decline the less severe and have the option of accepting the more severe penalty.  If there's a penalty on the play and then one after the play, they can take both.\n\nBet Joe Paterno's wishing he'd remembered he could decline the offsides penalty in that game against Wisconsin!!!! :D :D :D

I gave your question a lot of thought, and I researched online for some offenses that might work.  I found an informative site that is the best free site I have seen with all kinds of basketball information, offenses, defenses, you name it.\n\nMaybe it will help.\nhttp://www.coachesclipboard.net/BasketballOffenses.html
