High school basketball games next season will feature a notable change, with one-and-one...
High school basketball players, coaches and officials in the Houston area and across the country will have a new rule to adjust to when the 2023-24 season rolls around.
The National Federation of State High School Associations — which includes Texas’ University Interscholastic League — announced Monday a rule change that eliminates the shooting of one-and-one free throws on common fouls when in the bonus. Teams will now reach the bonus after five fouls, and the foul count will reset at the end of each quarter.
The previous rule rewarded teams with the one-and-one bonus when their opponent committed seven fouls in one half and the automatic two shots when their opponent committed 10 fouls. “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,” said Lindsey Atkinson, NFHS director of sports and liaison to the Basketball Rules Committee. “Additionally, resetting the fouls each quarter will improve game flow and allow teams to adjust their play by not carrying foul totals to quarters two and four.
