In Basketball, the two types of defense a team mostly plays are called man-to-man and zone. The man-to-man defense is where the responsibility of a player on defense is to guard a player on the offense. In the zone defense, the responsibility of the player on defense is to patrol a specific area, or zone, of the court. Click on the 'Zone Defense' link on this page to read an article to learn more.

When on offense if the ball is fumbled into the back of the end zone what happens?
Depending on which side recovers the loose ball. If the defense player does it is a safety and worth 2 points to that team and they get the ball back on a kick off. If the offensive player gets it, and makes it out of the end zone he takes it as far as he can and the game continues from there. If the offensive player gets it and is tackled inside the end zone, it is again a safety for the other team. Do you mean if the ball is fumbled out of the back of the end zone? In that case, it's a safety awarded to the defense. If the ball is fumbled into the end zone but the offense recovers and is tackled, that's also a safety. If the ball is fumbled into the end zone but the defense recovers, it's a touchdown for the defense.
What is the difference between zone defense and man to man defense?
Zone defense refers to each player being assigned an area of the floor that he is responsible for. He is to defend the goal against anyone in his area. The players will rotate as one team depending on where the ball is. If the ball is on the left side of the court, the whole team will shift over to the left. When the ball is brought in the middle, like at the free-throw line, then the zone is broken. The key to defeating the zone is to get the ball in the middle, as someone has to guard him, which breaks the entire defensive scheme down. Man to man is were each individual is assigned an opposing player and is to follow him around regardless of where he goes. This is generally what teams run as their defensive strategy for most of the game. Should the defense be playing poorly, a zone might be implemented.
