Is a jump ball a turnover?

Technically it is a turnover (and a steal for the defender) if the offensive team loses possession. Personally, I believe it should be even if they don't lose possession at that time, because they are still losing a possession. It just may not effect the game until the end of the quarter or the next held ball. I just don't know who I need to talk to about getting that rule changed in the official statistician books.

What is a stall warning in lacrosse?

a stall warning in lacrosse is when a team is in there offensive end and the referee has determined that they are attempting to stall the game by just passing and making no effort to score or to shoot. although the ball may be outside of the box as soon as the ball is moved into the box the referee will raise his arms and say "keep it in" this means that the offensive team must keep the ball inside of there offensive box, in effect it makes it very difficult for the team to continually stall so they must now play offense in a limited space. if the team loses possession so that the ball leaves the box off of an offensive player or an offensive player steps out of the box the ball is awarded to the defending team. the only way that stall warning is waived is a goal, a defensive player gets a penalty, or if the defending team is able to remove the ball on there own via a clear or a ground ball.

How is American football played?

The game of football is to score points by running the ball into the opposing team's end zone. The ball can be advanced by running with it or throwing it to a teammate. Teams must get the ball downfield 10 yards in 4 attempts called downs. Points can be scored by carrying the ball over the opponent's goal line, catching a pass thrown over that goal line or by kicking the ball through the opponent's goal posts or tackling an opposing ball carrier in his own end zone. American football is a sport played by two teams of 11 players. It is played on a field that is 120 yards long and has a goal on both ends. The offensive team has four downs to get the football 10 yards or more at a time. If that goal is not achieved, the offensive team loses possession of the ball and the defensive team becomes the offensive team. Players on the defensive team will attempt to tackle the offensive player with the ball in order to stop advancement of the ball or take possession of the ball. A team can score by making it to the end zone or by kicking a field goal. The team with the highest amount of points after four periods of play wins.


What is the 'tuck rule'?

The tuck rule applies when a quarterback starts a throwing motion and then decides not to throw and attempts to 'tuck' the ball back into his body to keep possession. Should the quarterback lose control of the ball while in the tucking motion and the ball hits the ground, the play is considered an incomplete pass as opposed to a fumble.The tuck rule is defined in Rule 3, Section 21, Article 2, Note 2 of the NFL Official Rules and is defined below:"When a player is holding the ball to pass it forward, any intentional forward movement of his hand starts a forward pass, even if the player loses possession of the ball as he is attempting to tuck it back toward his body. Also, if the player has tucked the ball into his body and then loses possession, it is a fumble."

What is considered over and back in basketball?

It is announcer-speak for when a player reaches over another player from behind, typically in a play for the ball. It is typically cited as a foul, not a violation.Contrary to popular belief, however, it does not in and of itself constitute a foul. To be a foul, it must occur with illegal contact (and not all contact in an over-the-back situation is necessarily illegal). It is often yelled by spectators and coaches alike and, unfortunately, even called by some officials. But there is no foul called over-the-back--and it does not exist as a call available to officials, either.
