I will throw my two cents in. The current PC foul signal will be when there is an Team Control foul (offensive foul)
... What we have to remeber is that it is not a Team Control foul once the ball is in flight or gets knocked away from the defense. The area of difficulty we will have under the current rule change is the Team control foul when the ball is loose. Was it during an interrupetd dribble? was it a fumbled pass, was it oh well you can see where this is going. The NBA made this simple by creating the loose ball fooul and stating that once defense deflects it away ball is loose.
Ther will be some "loose plays" now in federation where the defense will be penalized more than the offense while they are both going after a ball.

How so?
If there is team control,
by rule, during this loose ball it does not matter if the ball is loose. If the defense fouls and the bonus is in effect we shoot in either case.
I like the idea of an offensive foul...that pop you hear is MTD's head exploding...but I don't think we need to add a section to the rules about loose ball fouls.
Changing to no shots on team control creates the penalty for the defense, no foul shots, a loose ball doesn't.
