The three ball passes in basketball are:
1. Overhead pass - the person holds the ball with both hands on top of his head then passes the ball to his partner/teammate. This is usually used when the passer is very far from the receiver.
2. Underhand pass - the person holds the ball with both hands placed in between the legs and passes the ball to the receiver. This is usually used when the passer is near the receiver.
3. Bounce pass - the person is holding the ball with one or both hands and passes the ball on the ground with the ball having a single contact to the floor before going to the receiver. This is usually performed when there is a blocker between the passer and the receiver.
