If you go back to the very early days of pro basketball in the US (late 40s), the individual foul limit was four! The reasoning was that you should be able to average less than one per quarter. Please realize that this was before the NBA became the only pro major league, so I don't know about the actual NBA history.

I found this tidbit in George Mikan's book.
Did you ever officiate any of George's games, Mark?
