High school basketball implements new free throw rules.
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.
