Who forced the NCAA to outlaw the dunk shot?
When Lew Alcindor came into the NCAA he was able to absolutely dominate games with the dunk. The NCAA decided to ban the slam dunk in an effort to neutralize the effectiveness of Alcindor. The rule was not set in place to prohibit Alcindor singularly, but rather to level the playing field so that teams that had a big man that could dun couldn't dominate their smaller stature opponents. Once there were more athletes who could dunk coming into the NCAA the rule was lifted, as it no longer served the purpose of leveling the playing field.
Why is balance important in basketball?
Yes, balance is needed a little in basketball because if you are taking a layup, if you don't have balance when you have one foot in the air, and one foot on the ground, then you will loose your balance and obviously not make the shot. Otherwise, probably not, focus is a big part of the game, though.
Travelling or doubble-dribbling in basketball?
No, it is a violation in High School rules, Rule 4.29 in the NFHS rule book says

The rule book doesn't specify the difference between the offensive or defensive kicking. So any party doing the above action would be called for a violation.
