What are the types of fouls in basketball?

There are offensive and defensive fouls in basketball. A defensive foul occurs when a defender makes contact with the player in possession. An offensive foul occurs when the player with the ball makes contact with a defender who's arms are inside his body. If an offensive player runs into a defensive player whose position is established (both feet are planted) or the offensive player drops his shoulder or pushes off with his arm, then the contact is deemed an offensive foul (foul against the offensive player) and is usually called a "charge." Flagrant fouls occur when one player grabs another and pulls him down, or a player is injured as a result of a hard foul. Technical fouls include defensive three-second penalties and, at the discretion of the official, when a player or coach exhibits unsportsmanlike conduct. By definition a foul is "when one player gains an illegal advantage over another through physical contact". In layman's terms, physical contact between two players is not illegal. However, if that contact creates an advantage (as in a shot was affected or a player could not move freely to another position on the court) then it is deemed a foul.

What sport needs more stamina basketball or football?

here by "football" I am assuming as real football and not American football or Rugby. I play both basketball and football, according to me basketball requires more stamina when compared because a good basketball player do not have time to take rest while playing and should always be running around, all 5 players plays as defense and offense, the game is more faster. In football, we have wings, defense, striker etc for various roles and they do not play both defense and offense unlike basketball.
Example, when the ball is being played on the other side, that's like when our team attack them, our defense have time to take rest during the game itself staying behind.


Basketball = good player runs more
Football = bad player runs more trying to get the ball

What is a good number for basketball?

A good shot percentage is different for each position.

Point Guard: The average point guard shoots 40%. A point guard that shoots a good percentage will be around 43%. An excellent shooting percentage would be around 45% and better. Obviously, guards like Tony Parker who shoot primarily layups and floaters will have higher shot percentages than those who prefer to shoot long range shots.

Shooting Guard: The average shooting guard shoots 41%. A shooting guard that shoots a good percentage will be around 44%. An excellent shooting percentage would be around 46% and better. If a shooting guard is mainly an alley-oop catcher, they will have a higher shot percentage than Kevin Martin, who draws fouls and shoots the ball more often.

Small Forward: The average small forward shoots 40%. A small forward that shoots a good percentage will be around 43%. An excellent shooting percentage would be around 45% and better. Small forwards come in many different shapes and sizes, so percentages will vary.

Power Forward: The average power forward shoots 42%. A power forward that shoots a good percentage will be around 46%. An excellent percentage would be around 50%. Power forwards are almost always near the basket and collect many rebounds, thus are able to get easy scoring opportunities.

Center: The average center shoots around 44%. A center that shoots a good percentage will be around 47%. An excellent percentage would be around 50% and higher. Centers, like power forwards, are near the basket a lot.

Can a basketball player pass to himself?

I dont think that you can pass to yourself unless you bounce it off someone else. If you pass to yourself it might be considered traveling.

the only way you can is to bounce it off the backboard or another player

A player may throw the ball off the backboard and catch it. However, the player must receive the pass while in the air and shoot or pass before he comes down. Otherwise, the call is traveling

Aside from the fact that scientific studies have shown that wheelchair basketball players are consistently more attractive than their non-disabled counterparts, they also have way madder skills! Allen Iverson tried to D up on me one time, and now he's in a wheelchair too. Ooooooh snap!
