In the NBA, there are offensive, defensive, and loose ball fouls.
You have to remember that NBA has a slightly different definiton of what we would know in NFHS as team control. When the defense knocks the ball loose then you would have a loose ball foul where in NFHS you would still have offensive team control.
This actually leads to more consistency on plays--- in NFHS ball if you have a scramble for the ball, the team that is in control keeps control until the other team secures it or ball loses team control by definition (shot attempt) so think about this on the scramble
1) if the offense fouls it just goes to the defense
2) same foul but on defense you may end up shooting 1/1 or 2 if you are in the bonus
in the NBA ball is loose it is same foul-same penalty in the same play-
Loose ball definition also changes the backcourt rule slightly since ball is knocked loose then anybody can get it no matter who touched it last in front court. ---IT also changes 3 seconds as well for same reason.
Loose ball fouls also are administered in many ways like the nFHS non team contol situations where we go POI. If they have a double foul while loose it goes to a jump ball, just like we go to AP
Personally I like it better but something we will nevr go to.... e were getting close when we had the interrupted dribble rule (no 3 seconds stuff) a couple of years or so ago but must have been getting too close because we dropped it...
