So why the need to differentiate common and personal fouls? The penalties are the same for both are they not?
No, b/c some personal fouls result in FTs. If I foul an airborne shooter, that's a personal foul (live ball contact); but it's not a common foul, b/c the shooter will receive FTs.

Make sense?
Specifically, common fouls only get FTs awarded when the team is in the bonus.

Personal fouls that are not common fouls always have the same penalty without regard to the foul count. Some (most) have automatic FTs other have no FTs (PC foul).
