Covers such things as an illegal dribble or spending more than three seconds in the restricted area. Possession is handed to the opposition, usually via a throw-in.
Each personal foul committed by a player is also counted against his team; when a team goes over the limit, its opponent is awarded a free-throw.
A screen is an attempt by an offensive player to stop a defender from guarding the ball-carrier.
Called when a player moves or attempts to move an opponent with force, even if they do not have control of the ball.
Extending the hands outside the cylinder and causing illegal contact (for example, going for a steal but hitting the player's hand or arm, or hitting the arm of a shooter).
Moving one's elbow outside the cylinder to disadvantage an opponent. This mostly occurs during a post-up play situation, where either offense or defense attempt to gain a better position.
When personal contact is made with an opponent which restricts their movement.(for example, physically grabbing a player driving to the basket).
