No, a player cannot be called for offsides in Basketball. The term "offsides" is not used in basketball rules. If a player steps out of bounds while in possession of the ball, it is called a "out of bounds" violation, and the ball is turned over to the opposing team.

Why is it legal to throw the ball off of another player when you are about to fall out of bounds in basketball?

Because the play is called a pass or a save and is always legal. The rule that applies most is the one that states that possession goes to the other team when a player touches the ball last prior to landing out of bounds. Moreover, it takes skill to place the ball on the opposing player with sufficient velocity and in such a way as to insure he will not be able to gather it up and cost YOU a change of possession.

How does possession work in basketball and what are the rules governing it?

In basketball, possession is when a team has control of the ball. The rules governing possession include: A team gains possession by either winning the jump ball at the beginning of the game or by stealing the ball from the opposing team. Possession changes when a team scores, commits a turnover, or a violation occurs. Possession can also change on a jump ball situation or when a foul is called. The shot clock resets when possession changes, giving the team a new opportunity to score within a certain time limit. These rules help maintain fairness and order during the game.
