How many points do you get for a goal in basketball?

not sure about college basketball, but the NBA it is 2 points per basket. if the shooter is fouled whilst making the shot he will then have the chance to make a free throw. if the ball goes in the basket then he takes 1 free-throw to make a total of 3 points. if the ball misses the basket then he takes 2 free-throws to make a total of 2 points.

What is the ruling if one player makes a basket and another player on the same team gets fouled while the ball is in the air?

In college and in the NBA if someone is fouled they have to shoot free throws. Only time I can see if they get another player to shoot is if the player that was fouled gets fouled very, very hard, if he gets knocked out or has to go to the hospital and is seriously hurt, they may let another person take his place, or give the team two points, most likely to make it fair, they'll get another person to shoot. But I've never seen that kind of stipulation before.

What is a loose ball in basketball play?

A loose ball foul in the NBA (European rules may differ) is committed when NO player from either team has possession of the ball. It is NOT a foul committed on a player who does not have possession of the ball so long as some other player has possession.

A loose ball foul is committed ONLY when NO player from either team has possession, which is evident from the name, "Loose ball."

The concept is important because an offensive foul has different repercussions than a defensive foul, but a "loose ball foul" is neither a defensive or an offensive foul. If any other player other than the one fouled has the ball then the foul is either defensive or offensive.

Name one technical foul?

There are many ways of producing technical foul in basketball

1. Arguing with referee or swearing at him. This happens when a player does not agree with a call the referee has made.

2. Pushing or making intentional contact with an opposing player.This usually happens when the players have something going on between them and they produce the anger in the game.

There are many other examples:

- The moving pick

- Faking being fouled (flopping)

- Fighting or threatening to fight

- Illegal substitution or entering the game at an impermissible time

- Intentionally hanging on the basket at any time (except to prevent an injury)

- Kicking the basketball

- Jumping on a player to gain a height advantage

- Removing the jersey or pants

These are just some of the many causes of a technical foul!

What position is responsible for rebounding in basketball?

How many technical fouls can a player receive?

In the NBA, there is no cap on the total number of technical fouls you get during the season. But the NBA has penalties after you receive certain technical foul totals. After the 15th technical foul a player receives during the season, he is suspended for 1 game without pay. Consequently that player is suspended 1 game without pay for every other technical during the remainder of the season.

So if a player burns up his 2 possible technicals during the first 8 games of the season, his total techs will be 16. He would then miss the following game. With that rule in place, it's only possible for a player to get 74 technicals total getting his maximum 2 techs per game and factoring in suspensions after the first 15.

When a person is fouled while shooting in basketball do they get one free throw if the shot is missed?

Not always. Under HS Federation, NCAA, and NBA rules in order for a (non-shooting) fouled player to shoot free throws the offended team must be in "the bonus". "The bonus" is the number of fouls committed by the opposing team beyond which the ball is put into play by the fouled player attempting free throws rather than getting the ball out of bounds for a throw-in. The number of team fouls required to reach "the bonus" varies by sanctioning body but the principle remains the same. Hope this answers your question.
