“The rules 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,” Lindsey Atkinson, NFHS Director of Sports and liaison to the basketball rules committee said in the release. Previously, teams shot one-and-one free throws when their opponents committed seven fouls in a half, and two free throws when 10 fouls were committed each half. Team fouls will reset each quarter instead of each half. Teams will now shoot two free throws for common fouls when in the "bonus", and will reach the bonus when their opponent commits five fouls in a quarter, the release said. "The recommendations were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors," the release said. Starting next school year, one-and-one free throws will no longer be part of high school basketball in the United States.Īccording to a release posted Monday on the National Federation of State High School Associations website, the basketball rules committee approved changes to the "bonus" rules at its annual meeting last month. ![]() View Gallery: Ramapo wins NJSIAA Group 3 boys basketball final
