Interesting, Duane. But in NFHS rules, unsportsmanlike fouls are by definition non-contact. So this would not be an unsportsmanlike foul. If we used your line of thought -- namely, that the foul could not be a "basketball play", since the ball is not in play -- we could call it an intentional personal foul. I'd like to be around to see somebody call it that way, tho!! And if it were called that way, it's NOT a team control foul, since it's not a common foul.

Hmm, so Chuck, surely this SHOULD be called an intentional foul? If so, why wouldn't refs call it this way?
OK, so other than personal fouls, what types of fouls do you guys have? We have three:
Technical fouls - for any non-contact infraction of the rules. Penalty is 2 free throws and possession at the halfway line. Two technical fouls on the one player (or coach) is an automatic ejection.
Unsportsmanlike fouls - used to be called Intentional Fouls, but the name was changed as it is impossible for an observer to know someone else's
intent only the end result of their actions. So, unsportsmanlike fouls situations where there is no attempt ot play at the ball, or there is excessive contact in an attempt to play the ball.
Disqualifying fouls - for flagrant unsportsmanlike behaviour, including fighting, attempting to strike, leaving the bench in a fight, etc
What are the equivalent fouls in NFHS?
