Happens when a player crosses the midcourt line and then returns to the backcourt. It can also occur if a player passes to a teammate in the backcourt from the frontcourt.Double Dribble
Involves the ball handler either dribbling with both hands or starting to dribble again after stopping.Offensive Foul
Happens when the ball handler deliberately collides with a defender who has an established position.Offensive Goaltending
Occurs when a player interferes with the ball on the rim or during its downward path to the basket, resulting in the basket not counting.Five-Second Inbound Violation
Called if the inbounder fails to pass the ball within five seconds.Three-Second Violation
Called when an offensive player remains in the paint for more than three seconds.Ten-Second Backcourt Violation
