Any common foul committed by a player whose team is in possession does not result in free throws, regardless of the number of team fouls committed.
Oz, I'm not at all familiar with FIBA rules, but your description doesn't really seem any clearer than what we've been discussing. How does FIBA define a team as being "in possession"? Does that mean team control, or does it mean a player on the offensive team has possession by holding or dribbling the ball? That can make a difference on a loose ball scramble. What would you do under the FIBA rules in the play I described in an earlier post?
