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.
The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) has eliminated one-and-one foul shots from its basketball rules for next season, preferring instead for players to shoot two shots. In another major change, team fouls should be counted on a quarter-by-quarter basis rather than by half, and only five fouls are needed to reach the bonus. The NFHS cited injury prevention among the motivating factors for the rule change. The PIAA typically adopts NFHS rulebook changes, but they are not enacted automatically.
