Why no free throws?

These plays have to be divided, by how the NFHS and NCAA Men's and Women's rules define them. No matter, the two plays that you described, physically are not the same.

Other other Mark - the poster was not asking for the difference in penalties at different levels, he was asking if anyone knew the reasoning behind not having the defense shoot free throws (if in the bonus, I suppose) on PC fouls.

The short answer is: beats the poop out of me. I think it's just another one of those NF rules that isn't equitible, like the one I mentioned above.

Of course, trying to apply logic to the NF rulebook is like trying to turn Mike Tyson into a vegetarian.
