There is a double-bonus, two-shots. It is verbiage used to define teams 10th foul for each half of a bonus.

And the definition posted by you is correct, "On a 1+1, the 2nd shot is the bonus for making the first".

In actuality, if your definition of "double bonus" were true, you would be shooting 2 bonus' situations of 1+1 twice and not 1+1+1.

Okay, for now on use, "bonus, 2-shots."

Are you happy now?




FWIW, Johnny, I see no difference between the "double bonus" discussion and the "double dribble" discussion -- both are commonly accepted terms that probably aren't technically correct according to the rule book (should be something like "automatic bonus" and "illegal dribble.")

Agreed...and I do use them both...just pointing out the technical meaning of it.
