If you read the NFHS, NCAA Men's/Women's, FIBA, and NBA/WNBA rules codes, you will not find a definition for an offensive foul in the NFHS, NCAA Men's/Women's, and FIBA rules codes, but you will find a definition for an offensive foul in the NBA/WNBA rules codes.
Please use correct terminology when discussing a play. Using the term offensive foul when describing a player control foul for a game played under NFHS rules tells everybody that you do not know the rules of basketball.

Mark, the world is not coming to an end, believe me, it's not just yet. You also need to get out more. People are not perfect, players are not perfect, and god help us all, officials are not perfect. The rulebooks are not perfect. If they where, they wouldn't have to change the rules every year. If you want to say there is no such thing as an offensive foul in NFHS, then so be it. I vote we make that a man law.
Owe, and that last statement you just made. "Using the term offensive foul when describing a player control foul for a game played under NFHS rules tells
everybody that you do not know the rules of basketball." No it only tells the officials because we are truly the only ones that care. The annoucers, the fans, the coaches, the players, even the bugs in the ceiling will know we're going the other way. That's got to be up there with one of the dumbest things I ever read on this forum.
