Different Types of Violations

Traveling: The most common way for someone to travel is when you establish your pivot foot, but when you go to dribble you lift up your pivot foot without dribbling first. Traveling can also occur by dragging your foot after you pick up the ball. Each player is allowed two steps as the ball is picked up, any more it is considered a travel. 

Double-Dribble: A double dribble is anytime a player dribbles the ball, picks it up and then resumes dribbling again. Sometimes when you are playing in a game you forget that you have already dribbled, and get called for a double-dribble. (Trust me, it's happened)

Ten-Second Violation: The ten second violation rule is called when the offensive team cannot get the ball over half court before ten seconds is over. This call often happens when the opposite team presses the offensive team making it difficult to pass half court.

In-Bounding Rule: The in-bounding rule is when you are given the ball out of bounds, you are given only five seconds to pass the ball to a teammates. If you fail to get the ball in bounds before five seconds is over, the other team receives possession.
