Old School:
1) Illegal contact while the ball is live is a personal foul. It cannot ever be a technical foul.
2) Personal fouls are of the following types: (a) common foul (including player control fouls and team control fouls (see the NCAA exception for throw-ins); (b) fouls committed against a player in the act of shooting; (c) intentional fouls; and (d) flagrant fouls.
3) Technical fouls are of the following types: (a) non-contact fouls while the ball is live; (b) non-contact fouls while the ball is dead; (c) contact fouls while the ball is dead; (d) intentional fouls; and (e) flagrant fouls.
What does this all mean? It means that any contact foul while the ball is live is a personal foul; and the official then must determine whether it is a common foul, a foul committed against a player in the act of shooting, an intentional foul, or a flagrant foul.
If you had taken the time to read and learn the definition of fouls, found in Rule 4 of both the NFHS and NCAA rules books, I would not have had to waste my time making this post.
