team foul
What Is The Definition Of Team Foul In Basketball?
1. Team fouls is the total number of personal fouls the team has accrued as a whole during a certain period of a game.
Team fouls reset back to zero after every quarter in the NBA and FIBA. At the college and high-school level, team fouls reset back to zero after half-time.
Personal fouls do not reset. That means that team fouls represent the total number of personal fouls all of their players have received in that quarter or half, but not for the whole game.
What Is The Bonus For Too Many Team Fouls?
If a team reaches a certain number of team fouls, the opposing team gets a bonus. The bonus means that no matter what type of personal foul the player on your team commits, the opposing team gets to automatically shoot a free throw. This can either be a one-and-one or two free throws.
How Many Team Fouls Is Too Many Team Fouls?
In the NBA and FIBA, the opposing team gets a bonus of two free throws after the other team accrues five team fouls in one quarter.
The NBA has an exception to this rule which occurs if the quarter only has two minutes left and a team has zero team fouls. In this case, the team would only need two team fouls for the opposing team to get the two free throws bonus.
In college and high school basketball, if a team accrues seven team fouls in one half of the game, the opposing team gets a bonus of a one-and-one. When a team gets ten team fouls, the opposing team gets a bonus of two free throws.
