Team Control Player Control Difference ...

No more counting a goal and then going to the opposite end for bonus FTs.

Best not to confuse the rookies with this though.

That must have been before my time. When I started in 2015, there were still two different signals, but no points could be scored or free throws attempted on either a team or player control foul. At least NCAAW and NBA rules are consistent and call both types of fouls offensive fouls, because it is the offense that commits them.

For NFHS, it was ancient times, when we used whistles with peas, had several jump balls in every game in three different jump ball circles, gave dribblers a new five second count if they passed the 28 foot hash mark, and rarely allowed coaches to stand up.

"Count the basket" player control foul on one end, then walk down to the other end to shoot bonus free throws.

The good ole days?

I'm vaguely remembering this now. Was it in the rule to shoot FTs for any PC (or TC) foul if the bonus was in effect? Or just ones that occurred after the try had been released?

This.
