There is no offside rule in the sense that the term is usually used in soccer and Ice Hockey. It is not necessary that the defenders have one or more men between the ball and the basket.

However, there are other rules to regulate player positioning. The over-and-back rule requires that once the attacking team has moved the ball into their opponents' half of the court, they may not move it back to their half again. This concentrates the action nearer to the basket. The "no camping" rule declares that no defending player may spend more than three seconds within the lane at a time, so the defenders can't just "camp out" under the basket to prevent shots on it. Hence all the inefficient-looking jockeying for position under the basket.

What are the rules for futsal?

Futsal is governed internationally by the Futsal Laws of the Game, curated by IFAB, the same group that curates the Laws of the Game for Association Football (soccer). There are 17 Laws, although one of them (Law 11) simply states that there is no Offside. The basics of the game are identical to soccer, except in the dimensions of the court and markings, number of players and substitutions, the goal clearance, accumulated fouls, offside, the ball, and timing of the match. There are a few other differences, but they are mostly consequential to the other rule differences.
