I believe that this rule allows for there to be a shooting opportunity when a team has reached their limit. Just like we do not shoot FTs on team control foul in NF and NCAA rules, I believe the NBA used the term to signify that you can shoot FTs. Or at the very least that is part of the reason.

I am not an NBA rules expert and do not work games under those rules, so I am sure someone else can clarify this more accurately than I have. I am just guessing based on what I have seen over the years.

Peace
