what is a team foul in basketball?
607227
It's the total of all fouls by members of the same team in one half.  It's used for determining when a "non-shooting foul" results in free throws rather than possession of the ball.\n\nIn other words, if one player on a team gets three fouls and a couple of other players get one or two fouls each, their team would be "over the limit" for team fouls.

NBA officiating has been trash lately.  All they do is call a blocking foul every time down the court but then they refuse to call over the backs push offs etc..  And if anyone wants to complain it is a technical but yet there is no punishment for the officials for costing a team a championship.  If the NBA wants to keep the little amount of fans they have left they need a worthy officiating staff.  I am disgusted.

there are 53 players on a team, not 42 or 65 like those first two idiots answered. and there are several different fouls. the officials throw yellow penalty flags when a foul is committed. the rules are far too involved and complicated to go into here, but the sport is so strategic it's like a hard hitting chess match. if you watch some games and start learning the rules, i'm sure you'll find it fascinating. thank you for showing such an interest, it's very refreshing to hear a european asking about the rules instead of just bashing a sport they don't understand.

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)

A turnover means the same thing at all levels of basketball ... a player made a mistake that led to the ball going to the other team. Examples of these would be traveling or double dribble violations, stepping out of bounds with the ball, making a bad pass out of bounds or allowing the ball to be stolen.\n\nThey are counted by a statistician. Generally at the NBA and college levels, there are several people responsible doing stats, each responsible for keeping a specific stat or two.

there is a whole big process who ever gets the tip ball they have the possession and if there is a jump ball then the opposing team who did not get the ball at tip ball gets the ball a jump ball is when the two teams are fighting for the ball

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.

A team rebound occurs when a missed shot goes out of bounds before anybody secures the rebound and your team is awarded possession. A deadball rebound occurs on a first foul shot when the ball is "dead" and the team taking the foul shots is automatically going to get another shot.

it's actually very simple. \n\nThe object of the game is to score the biggest number of goals in the opposing team's goalpost. \n\nThere are 11 players on each team, and a couple of referees. \n\nTake for example Team A and team B. \n\nWhen a player from team A has the ball and gets knocked down by a player from team B it's called a foul. When a foul occurs, the game is stopped and the ball is given to  team A (in this case). Depending on the part of the field in which the foul occured, team A gets to kick the ball. \n\nIf the foul occurs inside of the small rectangle near the goalpost, then it's called a penalty. And a player from team A gets to shoot at the goal with only team's B goal keeper to stop him. (by stopping him I mean, stopping the ball from going into the goal post)\n\nWhen for example a player from team A kicks the ball and it goes beyond the sidelines, then a player from team B gets possession of the ball. This player is allowed to grab the ball with his hands and throw it to a teammate.\n\nNote:\nplayers can only grab the ball with their hands when the ball goes beyond the sidelines. The goal keeper is allowed to use his hands at all times to catch the ball.\n\nThere are two halfs, each of 45 minutes. At the end of each half,  a few extra minutes of game play are given to make up for any previously lost time. Such as when an injured player has to be carried out of the field.\n\nThe referee has two cards: yellow and red. The yellow one is shown to the player who commits a very dirty foul, or to the player that argues with the referee. The red card is shown to the player who commits an extremely dirty foul, or to a player who has a yellow card and commits yet another foul.\n\nOffsides occur when a player from team A is on team B's side of the field and there's no one from team B standing between the goalkeeper and the player from team A.

In basketball, an assist is attributed to a player who passes the ball to a teammate in a way that leads to a score, meaning that he or she was "assisting" in the basket. According to the Official 2004 NCAA Basketball Statistics Rules, an assist has to be "a major part of the play," which either finds the player already with a "positional advantage", or helps him or her get one. There is thus some judgement involved in deciding whether a player deserves an assist.
