The words personal and common mean exactly what they sound like they mean. A personal foul occurs against a person, i.e. not a team foul, or administrative foul. A common foul is exactly as it says "common". They are the fouls we see throughout the game. i.e. not a technical or flagarent or (false)multiple or (false)double. Remember a common foul will end up being a personal foul as well.

Also remember, a technical foul can be a personal foul. It has its own penalty, but is still charged to the person.

It's all a tangled web of logic (if A then B, however if B not necessarily A, etc.) really confusing. The important thing to remember is what consitutes each type and what the penalty is for each foul.
