Basketball Terms - U - Z
| Upset | When a team unexpectedly beats a team that was thought to be better. |
| Violation | A “Floor Violation”. |
| Weak Side | The side of the court where the ball isn’t.. |
| Zone Defense | A defensive scheme in which defenders are responsible for covering regions of the court instead of specific players, as opposed to “Man-to-Man” defense. Until a few years ago, this strategy was illegal in the NBA, and though it’s now permitted, it is still fairly uncommon. |
