About Borko Bariæ Expertise I am a big fan of NBA basketball, especially its history, so I have pretty good knowledge of the past players, teams and stats.
Experience You should have asked me 5 years ago. I was a real nut back then... :)
Question When a team in the NBA goes over the foul limit, how many shots are automatically awarded to the other team when the other team incurs another non-shooting, non-techincal foul???
Also,
Is there any situation in the NBA where a player is awarded an additional freethrow attempt for making a free throw???
Thanks,
Paul B.
Answer Hello Paul,
If it's a non-shooting foul and the fouling team is over the foul limit, two unconditional shots are assigned. If the foul was a shooting foul inside the three-point line, 2 shots are awarded as well. Up until some 10 years ago, two shots were always assigned for all the shooting fouls, regardless of distance. Now, if a shooting foul occured behind the three-point line, three free throws are awarded.
I din't think there ever were one-for-one free throws in the NBA, while FIBA used that rule also until some 10 years ago.
