The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) recently announced some changes to free throws and fouls for the upcoming school year.
Beginning next year, high school basketball teams will shoot two free throws once the foul bonus has been reached. The bonus qualifications will also be changing. A bonus is reached when a team commits five fouls in each quarter. Team fouls will reset each quarter as well.
Previously, teams would be given a “one-and-one” bonus when the opposite team reached seven fouls in a half and two foul shots when ten fouls were reached each half. A “one-and-one” foul shot is when the first free throw is a live ball if missed and a second free throw is given if the first shot is made.
The NFHS said these changes will make the game flow better and reduce the risks of injuries in rebounding situations.
