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 Paul,
When a team goes over the foul limit in the NBA, they are awarded 2 free throws for non-shooting fouls, and one free throw for a shooting foul, if the basket is good. The only way you can be awarded a free throw after making one is if there is a techincal foul on the team that is not shooting. A few years back they had a rule if you went over the foul limit, it was a 3 to make 2, or 2 to make 1 rule. If you were shooting 2 foul shots you had 3 atempts to make the 2 foul shots, so if you missed the first or second atempt you always had the third sot to depend on. Sam applied for the 2 to make 1. This rule was never a favorite of mine, and apparently not a favorite of the NBA since they have done away with it. Thanks, Great question
