How do you foul someone in basketball?

It's mainly when you cause physical contact that gains you an unfair advantage and is therefore outside the rules...like hitting their arm while they have the ball...even if unintentional.

combos, fake often when he's not alert & dun fake when he's already be faked for a few times, use different variations to make him confuse. Practice reverse layups, it has higher chances that the defender has less experience in guarding a reverse layup.\nGreat Options: \n1. fake & reverse layup \n2. shoot the 1st few scores then mis layups & shoots (creates psycological confusion)\n3. fake & shoot\n4. Lean towards an agressive defender & earn a foul.\n5. crossover, charge towards the goal leading him moving backwards then make a fade.\n6. learn to shoot with your back facing the goal... extraordinary moves always scores extraordinary points & cheers from d crowd =D~\n\nIf you wanna lose more defender, Practice 1 on 1. \nPractice make Perfect! *w|nKz~

Depends on the situation- if you have a teammate nearby, the easiest and quickiest way to get around the defender is pass the ball and run past the defender, so that your teammate can pass you the ball back and then you are in the clear.  If you are alone, often times you can dribble up and make a quick move or fake and then once the defender bites, you take off the other direction with speed to get past them.

u can use u up and under which is a pump fake and then step with your non-pivot under the defender to seal him off, the sky hook always works but u gotta get good at it, increase your verticle and u wont even need moves, u can just let your team shoot it then get the rebound and put it in by just jumping, there's a move that's really risky called the pummel and u are backing down on the defender and u throw the ball around their back with your left hand, get it on the other side of them with your right and put it up because they will b off balance if u do it right.  one more that i know works is just a drop step then a reverse layup on the other side of the hoop since they will b expecting u to just "go u strong" u will usually always get fouled.

No the player doesn't get an attempt added to their line unless they make the shot when they are fouled.

*Work on your freethrows(being down low you will get fouled a lot)\n*Work on quick feet(although you are big you need to be quick so you can move to the ball faster)\n*Take about 500-1000 mid-range jumpers a day(work on getting the right form, keep the ball above your chest)\n*Keep the ball low and work mostly on your off hand ball handles\n*Make sure you keep your pivot foot while spinning, and when you pump fake make sure you show a real shot fake, not that fake ball show.\n*Beat your man down the floor(again quick foot work), establish position early and don't give in to the man guarding you. Get deep into the post area.\n*Don't flop, don't dip into the defense, and go up STRONG no matter what.\n\n*THE BEST THING TO DO IS DO CARDIO, STRENGTH TRAINING, AND QUICKNESS DRILLS. ALSO DO A LOT OF CATCH AND SHOOT DOWN IN THE PAINT

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.

the best play is a block.of course if you mean best play as in the best to have of course it would be getting fouled shoting a three pointer,making the basket and then making the freethrow(or purposly missing the freethrow and then getting the rebound and scoring again)

Any form of the Hook Shot. Sky-Hoop, Jump-Hook, Baby Hook...etc. If you playing against some one close to the same size, it is physically impossible to block without fouling, because the defender must have a long enough wingspand to reach clear across you body.

What Cali is describing should be called an offensive foul, but offense is at such a premium in the NBA they almost always call it in favor of the shooter.  Yeah, they need to stop flopping.  Maybe the NBA should take a cue from soccer, I can't believe I'm saying this, and create a foul for flopping.  It's just dumb that they can do it, and now it's starting to enter the college game too.

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

I would say try to move around on offense, and try to get open where you know you can make a shot. If you don't have a nice touch or are not a 3 point shooter, obviously it does you no good to get open there. However, if you get open within your range, how could they not pass to you? Also, make smart choices. If you teammate has a better look give him the ball. Always look for who has the best shot or the weakest defensive matchup against them.

esay, i play basketball at my high school. first be a good dribbler and a fast runner. also practice on the fakes, they work soo good, like the crossover. dribble between legs. \n\nall you got to do is: \nbe faster than the defender and learn the fakes and tricks. follow these and youll be scoring everytime

When the ball's on your side, don't let it hit the ground and when you hit it to the other side, hit it hard and make sure it goes inbounds where no one on the other team is able to return it.  That's about it.

I would slow things down.  I have a friend who is a great dribbler, but many times he tries to do too much and goes 100 mph.  Dont always look to beat your defender with the dribble.  Protect the ball and make smart passes.  Use your dribbling skills as a weapon, but dont always break out the skills. If you watch the good dribblers, for instance Iverson.  He wont break players ankles all the time, sometimes he will do simple old school dribbling, like just with one hand nothing fancy.  He will then break out a good move.  The defenders never know when it is coming and that makes it much harder to defend.  Use your skills wisely and they will be much more effective when you finally use them.  Ball possession is key in b-ball so make sure you are doing the smart thing instead of trying to make your defender look like a fool all the time.

Can he make baskets from everywhere? If he can only shoot from straight on that's great because if you double team him into a corner he won't be able to make many if any from there. In other words keep moving him to where he is uncomfortable. Another thing to look at is his stealing. Is he sloppy? If so, you should be able to draw fouls. Fall if you have to. Just make sure the world knows when you have been hit. What you guys really need to do is work on your game. Stick to the basics. Stay away from the fancy. Your foul shooting is critical. Practice shoot these foul shots every chance you get. Next you have to work on getting the ball in. Practice many different ways to do it so your prepared for anything. Want to draw fouls? Work on your layups. You can get 2 points plus 2 more if you are fouled. Practice your passing. For this game stay away from the bounce pass because it can be easily stolen. More questions? Let me know. Good luck.
