I'm not worried. But I'm just unclear as to exactly how the rule will be interpreted. My hope is that we'll still shoot the bonus if there's a foul during a scramble for a loose ball; b/c that's not what we typically think of as an "offensive foul". Player control fouls and illegal screens, no shots; I love it. But if nobody has control of the ball, I think we should still shoot it. Just my opinion.

Chuck, please, do not use the term "offensive foul" when refering to NFHS/NCAA rules. There is no such animal in NFHS/NCAA rules. When a Player A1 commits a personal foul, there can only be ball conditions: 1) Team A has control of the ball; 2) Team B has control of the ball; or 3) neither Team A or Team B has control of the ball.
