Over and Back.
A violation
on which a team has brought the ball
into the frontcourt and lets it
return to the backcourt. As soon
as a player from that team touches it in the backcourt , the ball is dead
and is awarded to the opposing team for a throw-in.
Overhead Pass, Two-Handed: "Pase Sobre Cabeza"
Ver: Pase Sobre Cabeza
Is probably the most used pass in the
modern game and is effective in many situations particularly when throwing inside to a
tall or post player. The two-handed
overhead pass is simply a wrist snap from above, but not behind the head, with a
downward action.
Over the Back.
An offensive
foul - see below - that occurs when an offensive player who is boxed out while attempting to grab a rebound tries to jump over the defender and makes excessive
contact with the defender.
One of the Basketball Rules Myths is that "Over
the back" is a foul.
Reality: Similar to the reaching in myth, there must be contact to have a foul. Coaches holler for over the back fouls
when their shorter player has seemingly better inside rebounding
position and the ball is snared by a
taller opponent from behind. Penalize illegal contact; don't penalize a player for being
tall.

Over the Limit: "Pasado el Límite"
Ver: Pasado el Límite
Beyond a given number of fouls: 4 team fouls per NBA, FIBA
or ULEB period; 8 per WNBA half; 7 per half in college. Each team is allowed the
given number of fouls per quarter or half for which no free throws are assessed ( unless they are committed
against players in act of shooting
); after the given number of fouls a team is said to be "over
the limit" and free throws are assessed on all subsequent
fouls. This team is also said "to be in the penalty".
Overtime or OT: "Tiempo Suplementario"
Ver: Tiempo Suplementario
A five-minute extra period that is
played to decide the outcome of a game tied after a regulation game. If a game remains tied
following an overtime period, another is
played and another until there is a winner.
