Called if a player commits a serious foul, such as striking an opponent. They will be dismissed immediately from the game.
If a player commits five fouls, either personal or technical, they must leave the game and cannot return. They can be replaced by a substitute.
Covers such things as an illegal dribble or spending more than three seconds in the restricted area. Possession is handed to the opposition, usually via a throw-in.
Each personal foul committed by a player is also counted against his team; when a team goes over the limit, its opponent is awarded a free-throw.
A screen is an attempt by an offensive player to stop a defender from guarding the ball-carrier.
Extending the hands outside the cylinder and causing illegal contact (for example, going for a steal but hitting the player's hand or arm, or hitting the arm of a shooter).
Contact by the defense on a ballhandler that impedes a player's speed, quickness, rhythm, and/or balance.
