The Offensive Team
No, offense is not more important than defense in basketball. There will be nights where your shot will be off, and it will seem like nothing is falling for you. As a player you can't control whether the shots are falling...but you CAN control whether your defense is good or not. Defensive intensity can be regulated, but the number of shots that will fall in the game cannot be controlled. Defense will always be present.
No, in the NFL, a fumble cannot be advanced by the offense. If the offense recovers their own fumble, the ball is dead at the spot of the recovery. If the defense recovers the fumble, they can advance it.
Even if you are a superb athlete who is naturally gifted, you need to train very hard. You cannot get the feel of a basketball game unless you continue playing in them. Shots can be practiced alone, but defense cannot.
It cannot.
No, a defense cannot commit a false start penalty in football. False start penalties are only called on the offense for making a sudden movement before the snap.
It really depends on the situation and the ref, but in the rules a defensive player cannot make contact with an offensive player.
In basketball, a player cannot stand in the key, or paint area, for more than three seconds if they are on offense. This rule is in place to prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage by staying close to the basket without actively trying to score. If a player violates this rule, the opposing team is awarded a free throw or possession of the ball.
An offensive player cannot stand in the key for more than 3 seconds. If he or she does, then the other team gets the ball. In the NBA, this rule applies to defensive players as well.
You cannot "type" a basketball. A basketball is an object you use in the sport of basketball to shoot it through the hoop.
In PIAA basketball, the defense cannot touch the ball during a throw-in while the offensive player is holding the ball out of bounds. The defensive players must remain at least three feet away from the player making the throw-in until the ball is released. If the defense violates this rule, the official may issue a warning or grant the offensive team an additional throw-in.
This is called the no-charge zone. When in this arc, the referee cannot call the "three-seconds" rule on you, which is when you are in the danger zone (the box from the free throw line to the base line) for more than three seconds.
Let's say Jimmy is playing offense and another of his teammates has the ball. Jimmy cannot stand in the lane (the area between the free-throw line and the hoop) for more than 3 seconds.
