Thank you. That was the point. Also remember the penalty for team control fouls does not include free throws. So, a defender fouling an offensive player has the consequence of free throws (if against a shooter or against a non-shooter but when in the penalty) but an offensive player fouling a defender in exactly the same manner results in no free throws. It's the same argument as the technical penalty.
The point is, shouldn't the penalty for a foul be the same regardless of whether it was committed by the offense or the defense if it was the same foul?
