[It totally will. His go next, making another shot.]
I'd say we flip a coin as an alternative, but how often does one ever run across money in Luceti?
[Not that he's usually tried looking for it, but still.]
Anyway, more of the basics. When you have the ball, you're on offense, and your objective is to make a basket. You have to keep dribbling the ball- bouncing it along as you go- and keep it in bounds. If the offensive player scores, possession of the ball goes to the other person next, and they go on the offense and try to score. But if the offense doesn't score when they shoot, anyone can try and catch it, they just have to dribble it outside of the area directly near the basket before trying to shoot.
The player without the ball is on defense, and they're trying to stop the other player from scoring. You can steal the ball, but you can't do it by pushing or otherwise roughing up someone. Touching someone like that would be a foul, something you don't want to do. But you can try and block the ball itself at any time. You'll want to keep moving in front of the offensive player at all times, facing them.
The game is as much about good footwork and other strategies as anything. It gets pretty involved. But it's a really good workout once you get into it.
