The offensive player must dribble at least 1 time before attempting a shot.

If the offensive player does not score, then their turn is over and the defensive player takes over possession on offense.
The defender may not touch the ball until after the first dribble is taken by the offensive player.
If a foul is called on the defensive player by the ref, then the defensive player’s turn is over and they must return to the end of the line.
If the defensive player knocks the ball away from the offensive player during a dribble, or knocks the ball loose from the offensive players hands after the offensive player has stopped dribbling, then that is considered a turnover and the defensive player takes possession on offense.
