What is an interception called in basketball?

An interception is when the quarterback throws the football, and the wide receiver tries to catch the football, but there's 1 problem. The other guy on the other team catches the football, so you've gotta ask yourself 1 thing: who was in the better position for the ball? Actually it was whoever caught the football, so if the other guy on the other team caught the football, then he was in a better position. Also, that's called an interception.. in football.
