The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.

Team B has committed three team fouls.  B-1 commits a common foul against A-1 while A-1 is dribbling the ball.  B-1 then mouthes off at the official and is given a technical foul.

Handle the situation.


Although Team B now has five team fouls, the common foul was the fourth team foul of the quarter.  So, the bonus rule was not in effect when that foul occurred.  No free throws will be awarded for that foul.  The technical foul will result in two free throws for Team A and a designated spot throw-in for Team A from the division line opposite the table.
