Fouls
A foul in basketball is a rule-breaking action that results
in a loss of possession and possible free throws. There
are multiple categories of fouls:

o Personal Fouls: A foul that is physical in nature,

like grabbing and pushing.
o Flagrant Fouls: A foul that involves extraordinary
violent contact with an opposing player or a
dangerous, non-basketball play.
o Technical Fouls: A foul that is unsportsmanlike,
including screaming at the referee or an
opponent.

In the NBA, if a player commits six fouls in a game,

they are disqualified from playing in the rest of the game.
Players can also foul out FIBA and college basketball,
but the foul limit is five fouls.

The referees in basketball are responsible for calling

fouls and violations throughout the game. The crew chief
is the head official and makes the final decision on the
court.

Fouls are different from rule violations. A foul counts

towards a player or team's overall foul count, while a rule
violation will typically only result in a turnover. Violations
such as shot clock violations, three-second violations, and
traveling do not count as fouls.

• A blocking foul is an illegal act that will be

called on a defensive player who does not get
into position in time prior to the dribbler moving
in that direction.
• charging foul : charge is called on the dribbler if
he collides with a defensive player who has
established legal position on his way to the
basket.
