Basketball

1. Step: A move made by an offensive player in the post with their back to the basket and their defender behind them. The player pivots and forcefully steps back toward the basket in a quick movement, using their body to shield the ball from the defender.
4. The line under each basket that marks out-of-bounds. Also known as an end line.
6. Cut: A movement that involves an offensive player making a rounded cut in the shape of a fishhook to create separation from their defender.
8. (High Post, Low Post): Locations on the floor at the top and bottom of the key/lane. High post is the area at the top of the key around the free-throw line, and low post is the area down near the basket just inside or outside the lane.
9. A state in which a team has reached a certain quota of fouls, which varies by league. When a team is in the bonus, all of their future fouls (even non-shooting fouls) will grant the other team a free-throw opportunity. Depending on the number of fouls and whether the team is in the bonus or double bonus, the other team may be shooting 1-and-1 or two free throws.

2. Pass: The first pass made after a defensive rebound as that team becomes the offense.
3. A tactic where a skilled player’s teammates clear out, hopefully bringing their defenders with them, to give the player space to go one-on-one against their defender. This creates opportunities for the player while also opening up a potential assist to a teammate.
4. (area on the court): Two rectangular areas marked on the floor on either side of the basket. Coaches use these areas to direct players where to stand.
5. An offensive move in which a player driving to the basket takes a lateral step in one direction and then in the other to maneuver around the defender. This move is believed to get its name from European players who first debuted the move in international play.
7. and Face: A movement of an offensive player who catches the ball, turns to face the basket, and becomes a triple threat to shoot, pass, or drive.
