As we transition into the 2023-2024 basketball season, there are some key changes coming to the game we all love.
Here's what you need to know:
🏀 No more 1-1 free throws
🏀 The bonus will always be 2 shots
🏀 Bonus begins at 5 team fouls
🏀 Team fouls will reset each quarter
🏀 The scoreboard will show a max of 5 fouls per quarter
This rule change comes from NFHS for safety reasons and is designed to enhance the flow of the game.
