IF you have a foul here, what is your call?

a) PC foul on A1, no FTs
b) Team control foul, no FTs
c) common foul, B1 to shoot FT(s)

As others have said...b. But, now that we have the TC foul, it is almost redundant to have the PC foul too. In all but one case, they are exactly the same.

The team control foul is a common foul commited by a player on the team that has control of the ball. A player holding or dribbling the ball technically commits a PC foul but nothing about it is differnet than the TC foul...same action, same time period, same penalty, just that the player also has player control.

The ONLY part that is different is the airborne shooter part.

They could effectively combine the TC and PC rules into a singe type of foul and add the airborne shooter clause to cover that and they'd have only one rule.
