[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

I am not about to climb up into the attic to look up exact dates, but in "The Ancient Days" when I played H.S. basketball in the late 1960's and when I started officiating in 1971 the term "team control foul" was not in the boys'/girls' and men's college rules book (NBCUSC), but was in the women's college rules book (NAGWS). But when the team in control of the ball committed a common foul its opponents received the ball for a throw-in rather than shoot a FT.

Some time in the very late 1970s or early 1980s for NFHS and NCAA Men's and early to mid-1980s for NCAA Womens' the rules changed and if a team in control of the ball committed a common foul excluding a PCF, its opponent would shoot FTs if it was in the bonus.

Then (I do not remember if it was before the turn of the century or after the turn of the century, but I am leaning toward after the turn of the century: see a previous post which referenced 2010) the NFHS and NCAA Men's/Women's Rules added the term "team control foul" (and it included PCFs) and changed the rule back and penalty back to "The Ancient Days".

So ends today's history lesson.
