Best Answer

A "loose ball foul" is when someone is trying to get a rebound (they can be on offence or defense), and a person pushes someone out of their way, or forces them trip, to get the ball. If a loose ball is called on someone on Team A, Team B will automatically get the ball.

What is a loose ball in basketball play?

A loose ball foul in the NBA (European rules may differ) is committed when NO player from either team has possession of the ball. It is NOT a foul committed on a player who does not have possession of the ball so long as some other player has possession. A loose ball foul is committed ONLY when NO player from either team has possession, which is evident from the name, "Loose ball." The concept is important because an offensive foul has different repercussions than a defensive foul, but a "loose ball foul" is neither a defensive or an offensive foul. If any other player other than the one fouled has the ball then the foul is either defensive or offensive.
