Basketball is a game filled with intense competition and strategy, but some of the rules can be quite ridiculous. For example, goaltending is when a defensive player touches the ball on its descent to the basket, which is considered a violation. Another silly rule is that a player who runs out of bounds to save a loose ball retains possession, even if a defender is in the closest proximity. Furthermore, a player is not allowed to touch the ball after it has been inbounded, even if it is only for a split second. Keywords: basketball, goaltending, out of bounds, inbound, possession.
