Pass

A pass is a direct release or throw from a player's hands (usually the center) towards a player on your team or indirectly to a player in the opposition, causing a steal. A pass is made by the team who has possession of the ball. A pass can either be a forward pass or a backwards pass (lateral). If a pass is dropped, the game is still live and is a loose ball. Any time the ball is directly turned over to the opposition, it is an interception.
