All players in basketball play both offense and defense.
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, Willie Parker was an offensive player. He was an NFL running back.

In speaking about American football and basketball, there are legal and illegal picks to be made on both offensive and defense. Accidental picks can also occur. Generally speaking a pick is placing oneself solidly and without moving in the anticipation of being in the way of an opposing team player. A "moving" pick in basketball, as an example, involves an offensive player "moving into the way of an opposing player. Contact then amounts to a foul in that the move was far too late to be fair and thus is illegal.Also, in American football there is an offensive pick that is illegal. This involves blocking up field defensive backs so they cannot protect against the forward pass. In conclusion, most often picks are set by the offensive team.
The only 'offensive' player would be the server, who always starts out the point. No player really plays offense or defense, because no player (or pair of players in doubles) always retains possession of the ball. In basketball, football, and soccer, a team or player has possession of the ball, and the opposing team has to prevent the team from scoring. In tennis, the server starts out the point and has the starting offensive advantage, but since tennis players rally (unlike those of basketball, football, and soccer), there is no definitive offensive player.
A defensive foul in basketball occurs when a player on defense makes illegal contact with an offensive player. This can include pushing, holding, or blocking the offensive player's movement. When a defensive foul is called, the offensive team is awarded free throws or possession of the ball, depending on the situation. Defensive fouls can impact the game by giving the offensive team scoring opportunities and potentially changing the momentum of the game.
A 1-point safety in football is achieved when the defense tackles the offensive player in their own end zone after a point-after-touchdown attempt. This rare play results in the defense scoring 1 point.
Encroachment in football occurs when a defensive player crosses the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped, resulting in a penalty for the defense. On the other hand, a neutral zone infraction occurs when a defensive player causes an offensive player to move before the snap, resulting in a penalty for the defense.
There are many different types of screen plays, but essentially, the screen play is used to take advantage of an aggressive or blitzing defense. The defense is allowed to rush the quarterback but then, at the correct moment, the ball is released to an offensive player. Then, the offensive blockers, who just let the defensemen pass them, are free to block for the ball carrier.
