Best Answer

The amount of time a ball spends in the air is called hang time. Hang time varies depending on the sport. In Baseball, hang time is going to occur if the ball is hit nearly straight up. In Basketball it will occur when a player throws the ball for the basket.

How does too much air pressure affect the bounce of a basketball?

Too much pressure can do 1 of 2 things or both things. One, increased pressure, by principles of physics, will increase the bounciness of the ball, making the ball unwieldy when a player is attempting to dribble. Two, too much pressure over time will weaken the air bladder on the inside of the ball, which eventually warps the shape of the ball, thus making the ball egg shaped and impossible or difficult to dribble.
