Your question's kind of off, if a defensive player has the ball, their on offense not defense therefore he/she is not a defensive player, but an offensive. Sounds like you're trying to ask is it a foul to jump in the air when the offensive player is trying to shoot. If that's your question then the answer's no, just straight up classic man-to-man defense.
No. It's just simply a hand off or a pass.
It really depends on the situation and the ref, but in the rules a defensive player cannot make contact with an offensive player.
uhm no!!!!!!!! its called playing basketball! that's what your suppose to do. as long as they don't hit the person while trying to get the basketball then its not even a foul
answer to the riddle why did the basketball player need long arms: to reach his hands
Double Dribble.
LeBron James
Don't dribble on me?
Hands down, Lebron is a much better Basketball player than Kobe.
It would depend on if he got the ball or if he got the arm, hands part of the ball so if he/she hits the ball handlers hand, then it is not a foul.
No because soccer yo can't use your hands and in basketball you have to use your hands.
Though somewhat subjective, a drummer would have quicker hands than an NBA basketball player.
FIBA, the international Basketball federation, has a logo which represents hands in multiple colors on a transparent basketball. Images of hands are powerful symbols that are used in many other logos.
Hands are considered part of the ball when in contact with the ball. If a defender strikes the hands of a player which are holding the ball, it is considered to be the same as the defender striking the ball. (I am a basketball referee certified by IAABO)
