Player Control vs Offensive Foul??

[JugglingReferee]

A player control foul is a foul committed by the player currently in control of the ball. It is a personal foul only, and does count towards elimination. They do not yield a bonus situation. The player who was fouled does not get to shoot foul shots if his team is in the bonus.

There is no definition in the rulebook for an offensive foul.

The common ways in which the term offensive foul is used is:

- another term for a player control foul, or
- a term to mean a foul by the offense, ie. the team currently in "team possession"

The hiccup comes when some use offensive foul to mean a PC foul, where no shots are taken. Then others use it to mean a foul where shots are taken (an illegal screen).
