It depends on when you hit it.  If your catching a volley and putting it up for a spiker, its a set.   But you can hit a set shot with your fingertips and its called a tip or tap (depending on your coach).  If you do it when the other team is vollying, its a block.  So there are three meanings for it.  Need to be more specific.

Maybe you meant the player's being disqualified?  If so, that would mean that a player either accumulated 6 personal fouls and has "fouled out" (This means that they are no long eligible to re-enter the game) or they have been given two technicals by the officials and have been tossed from the game. \n\nHope this helps.

A double-double is a basketball term, defined as an individual performance in a game in which a player accumulates a double digit number total in any two of these categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots. The most common double-double is a combination of points and rebounds, and then next is points and assists.\n\nDouble-doubles, unlike the more difficult triple-doubles (or ultra-rare quadruple-doubles), are very common in the NBA, and in fact there is usually at least one player in each NBA game that manages to record one. In each NBA season, rarely do more than a handful of players average a double-double.\n\nA triple-double is a basketball term, defined as an individual performance in a game in which a player accumulates a double digit number total in any three of these categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots.

Traveling is not called in the NBA, except against centers...\n\nLebron traveled on his game winning shot the other day, stepped with his left foot, then his right foot...no call...\n\nAccording to the original rules, you're basically allowed 1 and 1/2 steps...in other words, you can stop your dribble during one stride, then take a full stride as you rise up to slam in someone's face... 1 and 1/2 steps, OK... two steps, traveling...\n\nBut as I said, it's really not called any more (and Lebron knows that, he was smart to make that move).\n\nJordan started the traveling/but not really traveling moves, he was never called for it, but he did it all the time...again, he was smart for taking advantage of the fact that he knew it would not be called against him.

Why is this in basketball?

Basketball can be played by as few as two players. However, organized basketball games include two teams comprised of five players per team. Each team can have more than five players, but only five players per team are allowed on the court at one time.\n\nThe team's head coach determines when players go in and come out of the game. Reserve players enter the game through a process called substitution. Substitutions can only occur when play stops, such as during a timeout or when the referee calls a violation.\n\nEach player on a team is categorized by position. There are five positions on a traditional basketball team: \n    * Point guard - This player is typically the best dribbler and passer on the team. The point guard is sometimes called the floor general, which indicates the key role that the point guard plays.\n\n    * Shooting guard - The shooting guard, also called the two guard, is typically a team's best outside shooter on the team. This player flanks the point guard and moves around the court to try to create some space to take a shot that is uncontested by the opposition.\n\n    * Power forward - The power forward is usually near the basket and moves from one side of the basket to the other to try to get free from the opposition player that is guarding him. Power forwards also are skilled rebounders.\n\n    * Small forward - The small forward is typically a better outside shooter than a power forward and is usually smaller than a power forward.\n\n    * Center - Traditionally, the center is the tallest player on the team. The center's role is to establish a position near the basket to allow him/herself an easy jump shot. On defense, the center attempts to block shots and grab rebounds.
