not really that high but I'm saying maybe 1 out of every 10 shot's (did this at the court) so like 10%.

Accuracy of probability increases with the number of attempts. Assuming 10% to be a good estimate then: The probability of making the shot on the first try is .1 or 10%. For 2 completions in a row the probability drops to: .1 x .1 or .01 or 1% (You will miss 99% of attempts). For 3 in a row the probability drops to: .1 x .1 x .1 or .001 (You will miss 99.9% of your attempts. Like anything else, the more you train the better adapted you become.

One of the meaning of the word seed, when it comes to sports, is 'a ranking of teams or players for a specific purpose'. So, as far as sports are concerned, the words seed and rank are synonymous.

The use of "seed" or "seeding" was common in tennis in the late 1800s. It was used to describe the act of spreading or "seeding" the best players throughout the tournament in order to keep the best players from meeting/playing early on. The "seeded" players were those of higher skill and thus the term became synonymous with ranking.

The term is also used in terms of "seeding" a deck of cards; spreading the most desirable cards throughout a deck so as to not have them all appear at once.

There a many different balls used. Generally speaking each conference has it's official ball. The official ball for the tournament is the Wilson Solution. This ball is commonly used by other schools as well. Some schools use the Nike Elite Championship ball and I believe I've seen teams use the Spaulding TF1000 (a very common ball at the high school level).
