Question for my fellow FIBA officials

Team penalty: just the same concept as in NFHS, but with the usual differences.

The team penalty starts at the 5th foul in each quarter; overtimes are considered as the continuation of the fourth quarter (unless the referee is Mark Padgett, when overtimes are not an option; but he doesn't work FIBA games, of course).

Each non team control foul after the fourth foul in a quarter is penalized with two free throws (no 1 and 1). I prefer to say "non team control foul" rather than "defensive" foul which is ambiguous.

Of course one has to keep in mind other small differences: there is team control on a throw in and there is no team control when the ball has left the shooter's hands for a try (and no player control as well).
