Answer 1

8 seconds is the limit to advance the ball past midcourt in the NBA (10 in high school, college) 3 seconds is the limit an offensive player can be in the lane before a shot attempt is made. NBA also has a 3 second limit that a defensive player can be in the lane without guarding another player. 5 seconds to inbound the ball. Also 5 seconds to advance the ball past the defenders shoulders when closely guarded in the frontcourt(this is rarely enforced) 24 seconds in the NBA to attempt a shot. If the shot hits the rim, the shot clock is reset. 8 seconds is the limit to advance the ball past midcourt in the NBA (10 in high school, college) 3 seconds is the limit an offensive player can be in the lane before a shot attempt is made.

Answer 2

Shot clock - the attacking team has 24 seconds to shoot on one attack.

3 second violation - when attacking players are in the key for more than 3 seconds

5 second rule - from the sideline or baseline, when the player with the ball does nothing for 5 seconds, e.g. pass.

8 second rule - when a player on the attacking team doesn't pass or shoot for 8 seconds.
