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.

to be honest with you the urge never comes up in a game. i played for 6 years and not once had to 1 or 2 during a game. i've heard that if a player does have to go that the other players just block him off so no one can see and he just goes on the sidelines.

If the runner is in the act of stealing before the ball is caught, then yes the stealer has to go back to his base. The runner can steal a base if he/she waits on the base and starts running after the ball is caught.

The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands. \nThe ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands. \nA player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowances to be made for a man who catches the ball when running if he tries to stop. \nThe ball must be held by the hands. The arms or body must not be used for holding it. \nNo shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping or striking in any way the person of an opponent shall be allowed; the first infringement of this rule by any player shall come as a foul, the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made, or, if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game, no substitute allowed. \nA foul is striking the ball with the fist, violation of Rules 3, 4, and such as described in Rule 5. \nIf either side makes three consecutive fouls it shall count as a goal for the opponents (consecutive means without the opponents in the meantime making a foul). \nA goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into the basket and stays there, providing those defending the goal do no touch or disturb the goal. If the ball rests on the edges, and the opponent moves the basket, it shall count as a goal. \nWhen the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field of play by the person touching it. He has a right to hold it unmolested for five seconds. In case of a dispute the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds; if he holds it longer it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game the umpire shall call a foul on that side. \nThe umpire shall be the judge of the men and shall note the fouls and notify the referee when three consecutive fouls have been made. He shall have power to disqualify men according to Rule 5. \nThe referee shall be judge of the ball and shall decide when the ball is in play, in bounds, to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall decide when a goal has been made and keep account of the goals, with any other duties that are usually performed by a referee. \nThe time shall be two fifteen-minute halves, with five minutes rest between. \nThe side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner. In the case of a draw the game may, by agreement of the captains, be continued until another goal is made.

no goal means that even though the ball is in the goal something happened before it crossed the line and therefore making it a void.\n\nOffside is simple, if a player from team (lets call it..) X is closer to the goal Y than a defense player from team Y and receives the ball from a fellow player, it is called offside. \nIt is ok to receive the ball next to the opponent and then run faster to the goal than the defense player though.\n\nI think the inventor of this rule had very slow runners in his team and had to give them a chance to keep up, :)\n\nHope it helped

It is your point.  It does not matter if your team did totally miss it , your call.   That's why the serving team always has to play the point.  You guys could miss a line call on a first serve and they will still have to play it if you do  not make the call.  Guys would be calling lets on all your good returns if the rule was reversed.  It is your point, that is the rule and that is how it should be.

Say the point guard is dribbling the ball, and someone on the other team is guarding them. Another person on offense comes up and blocks him (called a pick) and the point guard will go around the person setting the pick. When he is past him, the one setting the pick will roll to the basket expecting a pass.

not illegal if they play the ball. Only commits foul if takes player without ball.\nThe Grey area is that it is at the discretion of the ref as to the outcome.

If you stand inside the paint/key/rectangle in front of the basket for over 3-seconds it is a violation. They made this rule to keep tall posts from hanging out in front of the basket and making all the shots. It allows for a more fair game, but don't get too cauhgt up in constantly thinking about how long you have been in the paint, just be able to realize if you are spendign too much time there.

They sometimes bounce a ball in football and two players go for it when the play's stopped and ref doesn't know who'd had it prior to the stoppage. Only thing I can think of to answer your question.

No, because you don't let a foul decide the outcome of a game, you let the shooter do that. The foul on Duncan was committed when he was trying to go for his own rebound, where as Dwayne basically flopped his way after charging Terry (no call there), and getting hand checked by Dirk which has to be the most babyish, rubbish call ever. Not to mention his foot was in the front court and then he went back court. That would have changed the game very much...also the fact that Stackhouse got suspended on the most ridiculous call. Stackhouse was going for the ball, Stephen A Smith said that Stu Jackson called Shaq to ask about the foul and Shaq's response was something related to that not being a hard foul...remember Stackhouse is the best bench player Mavs have...they coulda won Game 5 much more easily Also...Dirk had been knocked around a lot this series and didn't get many calls..where as..Dwayne in Game 6 did a floater and I'm not even sure if Marquis Daniels touched him and got called for a foul. He makes that basket and that gives them one point..take note of that. Then..in the end...Wade pushes off Dirk and Dirk gets called for the foul? In the replay, Dirk doesn't even touch Wade and that results in Wade makin 2 FTs...so those 3 points woulda made it a tie game and changed the very outcome of the game.\n\nI'm not saying the Refs rigged it or anything, and Wade is amazing, but I'm just saying that...\n\nA. Don't let a small foul decide the game\nB. Stackhouse's suspension is complete garbage\nC. Use more common sense on calls...(Ala..Daniels and Dirk contact with Wade)\nD. Just because hes a superstar, doesn't mean when he flops, he needs a foul...heck Ginobli doesn't even get as much as him and Ginobli is one mean flopper.\nE. It's stupid, but they should put in something similar to a challenge system. Or at least, refs should have the ability to change the call when the play is shown on the big screen.\n\nBTW Purple Hearts, you really have no common sense and you honestly make me laugh. Heat is nothing without Wade, he carried the team, and he fed off of many one on one situations due to the double teaming on Shaq.

I want you to look at the link I have here and tell me thats not a foul.\n\nhttp://i5.tinypic.com/14vmbte.jpg...\n\nNow, it wasnt a foul on Nowitzki, but thats irrelevant. Wade was fouled. \n\nIf you can HONESTLY tell me thats not a foul, then dont give me best answer.\n\nOh, and no, I dont think it was a bullshit call. \nGo HEAT!

"A screen or a pick in basketball is an offensive tactic to block the path of a defender to free up a teammate for scoring opportunities. A player may use his body to screen but not his arms or legs. He also may not move while setting the screen, otherwise it is called a moving screen and an automatic offensive foul.\n\nA screen can be used to free a teammate with or without the ball. A common tactic of a screen for the ballhandler is the pick and roll."

An attacker cannot be between the goalie and the last defender before the ball gets there.\n\nIf the ball goes past the last defender and you run after it, that's okay.  If you're just standing behind him/her waiting for the ball, you are offside.
