High school basketball updates free throw and foul rules for safety and efficiency.
High school basketball will eliminate one-and-one free throws, instead implementing a two free throw system when teams enter the bonus, according to a release by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). The new rule will put teams in the bonus after five fouls in a quarter, with team fouls resetting after each quarter. The changes were approved by the NFHS Basketball Rules Committee at its April meeting in Indianapolis. The committee studied data that showed higher injury rates on rebounding situations and saw this as an opportunity to reduce opportunities for rough play during rebounds.
