Personal fouls are contact fouls. Unsportsmanlike fousl are non contact fouls. The only unsportsmanlike foul that involves contact is contact with an official.
It is important to know the difference because personal fouls can either be live ball (ABO enforcment) or dead ball (succeeding spot enforcment) fouls. Unsportsmanlike conduct fouls are ALWAYS succeeding spot fouls.
