Of course there are nuances, but that’s the basic framework.

Nice! I never thought of it that way.
I have always found the classification of violations into three types as useless at best and confusing at worst.
This was because I didn’t understand how several violations fit into the system. For example, jump ball violations, throw-in violations, or timing violations (3-seconds, ten seconds in the backcourt, etc.) would all be covered under article 1.
I’m going to reflect upon this a bit as it seems that teaching the penalties for types 2 & 3 would be useful. That way everything else is type 1 and results in a throw-in.
