We used chewed up, almost dried bubble gum to get it out when it happened to us.

Good Luck! If the needle is still in the valve, let the air all bleed out and push it through once the ball is flat enough. If the needle has fallen through and is rattling around inside, you'll wreck the ball trying to get it out. Play on--it won't hurt a thing.

The same thing happened to me. You will just need to go out there and buy a new needle or pump and needle. The first time it broke for me, but I am able to take it back for a new one because it is not working properly. So, if you are able to, return it or just buy another one.

If before a basketball game the ref uses an air pump to inflate the basketball is it a chemical or physical change?

Inflating a basketball with an air pump is a physical change because it does not involve any change in the chemical composition of the materials involved. The air is simply being forced into the ball, causing it to expand and increase in volume, but the fundamental chemical makeup of the ball remains the same.
