Other types of player control fouls are when a dribbler uses an elbow and hits a defender, or excessive physical contact by an offensive post player trying to gain position.  \nPersonal Foul Penalties:  \nShooting Foul (2 Point Shot)– If a player gets “fouled” while in the act of shooting , the player gets to shoot free throw(s) . If the shot is made – the player gets to shoot 1 free throw, you will hear this called“And 1.” If the shot is not made and a foul is called – the player gets to shoot 2 free throws.  \nShooting Foul (3 Point Shot)– If a player gets “fouled” while in the act of shooting a 3-point shot , the player gets to shoot free throw(s) . If the shot is made – the player gets to shoot 1 free throw (which could turn out to be a 4-point play) . If the shot is not made and a foul is called – the player shoots 3 free throws.  \nNon-Shooting Fouls / Team Fouls:  \nNon-Shooting Fouls: If an offensive player is fouled while not in the act of shooting the ball, the ball stays in possession with the team that the foul was committed on (they will get to inbound the ball out of bounds at the nearest sideline or baseline) . When inbounding the ball the team with possession will have 5 seconds to pass the ball in to another teammate on the court. All fouls – including shooting fouls and non-shooting fouls add up and are counted as team fouls. Offensive fouls (player control fouls) do not count as a team foul.  \nTeam Fouls: Team fouls are the combined number of fouls that all the players on a team commit during one half of play. The fouls are totaled up and logged in by the scorekeeper in the official score book. When a team reaches 7 fouls, their opponent will get to shoot free throws – this is called a “one and one.”The player shooting the free throws gets to shoot 1 free throw, if they make it, they get to shoot another (one and one), if they miss the first free throw, they don’t get to shoot the second free throw. When a team reaches 7+ team fouls, their opponent is said to be in the “bonus” (and will start shooting free throws after getting fouled) .  \nWhen a team reaches 10 (or more) fouls, their opponent will automatically get to shoot 2 free throws. At half time the team fouls from the first half of the game are “zeroed” out, and team fouls are totaled all over again during the second half of the game.  \nImportant Note: Offensive fouls do not count towards team fouls (so when an offensive player happens to commit an offensive foul, the defense will not get to shoot free throws) .  \nTypes of Violations:  \nTraveling (also called Walking or Walk)– If a ball handler takes too many steps while dribbling the refere","cbCainmsUUXGtJYB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainmsUUXGtJYB","pdf",530533,9,"English","# Fouls vs. Violations\n## Personal Fouls\n## Personal Foul Penalties\n## Non-Shooting Fouls and Team Fouls\n# Types of Violations","[{\"question\":\"What is the difference between a foul and a violation?\",\"answer\":\"Fouls involve illegal contact or actions called on physical contact and certain unsportsmanlike behavior.
