I would like to update the new foul rules per the NFHS.

Under the new rule, team fouls will be tracked and reset by quarter. There will be no one-and-one but instead the opposing team will shoot two free throws after the fifth foul of each quarter.^[1] Sar7w6 (talk) 00:00, 18 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
