Originally posted by tjchamp So why the need to differentiate common and personal fouls? The penalties are the same for both are they not?
No, b/c some personal fouls result in FTs. If I foul an airborne shooter, that's a personal foul (live ball contact); but it's not a common foul, b/c the shooter will receive FTs.
Make sense?
