Had these two plays consequetively and got to wondering why is it that the defensive team is not awarded free throws if an offensive player commits a pc foul? (and assuming they are in the bonus): A1, on a try, commits a pc foul while airborne. B1 gets possession of the ball for a throw-in. Next time down the court, B2 goes airborne and attempts a shot, lands and then runs into A2. A2 received free throws (in the bonus). Virtually identical plays but with different consequences. Anyone know why it is that the defensive team receives no free throws if offensive player commits a pc foul?
