FOULS

 Personal fouls include any type of illegal physical contact. 

• HITTING

• PUSHING

• SLAPPING

• HOLDING

•  Three free throws are awarded if the player is fouled while shooting for a three-point goal and they miss their shot. If a player is fouled while shooting a three-point shot and makes it anyway, he is awarded one free throw. Thus, he could score four points on the play.
  
• Inbounds. If fouled while not shooting, the ball is given to the team the foul was committed upon. They get the ball at the nearest side or baseline, out of bounds, and have 5 seconds to pass the ball onto the court.
  
• One & one. If the team committing the foul has seven or more fouls in the game, then the player who was fouled is awarded one free throw. If he makes his first shot, then he is awarded another free throw.
  
• Ten or more fouls. If the team committing the foul has ten or more fouls, then the fouled player receives two free throws.

 An offensive foul that is committed when a player pushes or runs over a defensive player. The ball is given to the team that the foul was committed upon. 

 Blocking is illegal personal contact resulting from a defender not establishing position in time to prevent an opponent's drive to the basket. 

 Violent contact with an opponent. This includes hitting, kicking, and punching. This type of foul results in free throws plus the offense retaining possession of the ball after the free throws. 

 When a player makes physical contact with another player with no reasonable effort to steal the ball. It is a judgment call for the officials. 

 Technical foul. A player or a coach can commit this type of foul. It does not involve player contact or the ball but is instead about the 'manners' of the game. Foul language, obscenity, obscene gestures, and even arguing can be considered a technical foul, as can technical details regarding filling in the scorebook improperly or dunking during warm-ups.
