Lingua, we can answer both "yes" and "know". Remember that English is a very flexible language. You can say many things in different ways. The issue is how critical one wishes to be. For example, for simple conversation, you can say this. In some writing, it would be acceptable to write the account of events this way. You could say, "The Ball I got was a good one!" or "I got a really good ball this time." It just means that the player got the ball quickly and easily, and was able to get something done with it to help the team. In other contexts, as far as Noun/Verb relations go, this could be seen as an awkward expression; but you do not need to worry over this. As far as anything about a sport is concerned, you have a certain amount of "leeway" to express yourself with a little more freedom.

No. You would not say "good ball" because the ball is not good or bad. It was John's pass that was good. You can say, "He made a good pass."
