Two people defending one person with the ball is a legal move in basketball.

This strategy is commonly used to put pressure on the ball handler and force turnovers. Therefore, the answer "Two people defend one person with the ball" is correct.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Illegal because they didn't move before shootingExplanation
According to the rules of basketball, after catching a rebound, the player must either dribble or move before shooting. In this scenario, the player did not dribble or move before taking the shot, making it illegal. The fact that there is no one defending them does not affect the legality of the play.Rate this question:

Your team decides on a play. One person will steal the ball. Then they will pass it to another player twenty feet away in the form of a bounce pass. The player will then run to the halfcourt line and make their shot. The team hopes for extra points. Answer true or false - This plan is likely to fail.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
This plan is likely to fail because there are several factors that could go wrong. Firstly, the person attempting to steal the ball may not be successful, leading to a turnover. Secondly, the bounce pass may not be accurate or may be intercepted by the opposing team. Lastly, the player running to the halfcourt line may face defensive pressure or may not be able to make a successful shot from that distance. All of these potential obstacles make it more likely for the plan to fail rather than succeed.Rate this question:

In basketball, a "halfcourt press" is a defensive strategy where the defending team applies pressure on the opposing team in their half of the court. This strategy is often used to disrupt the opposing team's offense and force turnovers. One way to accomplish this is by "stealing" the ball from another player, meaning to take possession of the ball illegally from an opponent. Therefore, the correct answer is "steal".Rate this question:
