Player Control or Offensive foul

Not a player control foul. For this the player must have control of the ball or be an airborne shooter. This is simply a charging foul. It is a common foul and if the other team is in the bonus, they will shoot one-and-one.

Completely true!!!

Actually, I don't believe that in the HS rules book the term "Offensive foul" is ever defined or used. If someone could double check me on this statement, that would be great.

You are correct. No such rule under NF Rules.

Now in College they do have the concept of an offensive foul. I don't know all the particulars of this, ask an NCAA official. My understanding is that it is simply a foul by a player of the team in control, except a player with the ball. They do NOT shoot one-and-one in college on offensive fouls now.

Technically there is no such foul as an "Offensive Foul" in college either. The only foul that resembles that of course is a Team Control foul. But depending on the action, an "Offensive Foul" might still result in shooting. Rebounding and certain loose ball sitatuations where a team is not in Team Control, you still could shoot if the bonus shots if the "Offensive Team" commits the foul. So if A2 fouls B1, after A1 shot is in the air, B1 will shoot bonus shots if Team B is in the bounus.
