Each league has its own rules. In the United States, in the NBA you must shoot within 24 seconds. In college, the men must shoot within 35 seconds and the ladies must shoot within 30 seconds.
Offense is when a team possesses the basketball.
The offensive team has 8 seconds to advance the ball across halfcourt. Otherwise, the offensive team is called for an 8-second violation, resulting in a turnover.
No free throws are taken for offensive fouls. It is not a team foul.
The Offensive Team
As many as you like, but in box lacrosse you have 30 seconds to score or shoot on the next before the ball possesion is turned to the other team.
An NBA player on the offensive team can stand in the paint for a maximum of three seconds, otherwise the ball is turned over to the opposing team. An NBA player on the defensive team also cannot stay in the paint for more than three seconds, unless he's guarding his opponent.
The offensive team is the team with possession of the ball at the beginning of the play- so the offensive team if the serving team.

This call is only made in the NBA == == Defensive 3-Second Rule - Any defensive player, who is positioned in the free throw lane or the area extending 4 feet past the lane's end line must be actively guarding an opponent within three seconds. Actively guarding means being within arms length of an offensive player and in a guarding position. The defensive three-second count is suspended when: (1) a player is in the act of shooting, (2) there is a loss of team control, (3) the defender is actively guarding an opponent, (4) the defender completely clears the 16-foot lane or (5) it is imminent the defender will become legal. Infraction of this rule results in a technical foul.
