To help with some confusion at Basketball games this year there was a rule change on fouls and free-throws. Below is the rule change and rationale.
4-8-1: Eliminates the one-and-one for common fouls beginning with the seventh team foul in the half and establishes the bonus as two free throws awarded for a common foul beginning with the team’s fifth foul in each quarter and resets the fouls at the end of each quarter.
Rationale: Improves flow by providing an opportunity for teams to adjust their play by
not carrying over
fouls from quarters 1 and 3 to quarters 2 and 4 while significantly reducing the opportunity for
correctable errors to occur. Minimizes risk of injury by eliminating the one-and-one and reducing opportunities for rough play during rebounding opportunities.
