Player Control Foul leads to FT's?

This applied to ALL personal fouls, including those committed by the player in control of the ball.

That would not have been in the 80's, I don't think.

I'm wondering if by "charge" the author is referring to a situation where the ball handler passed the ball and then ran Alford over? Alford was sneaky that way...

That would still be a team control foul, and one on which we wouldn't shoot free throws today.

Correct, but they definitely would have shot FTs for that in the 80's.

Maybe it was an airborne shooter after he released the shot.

Ahhhhh...that rule changed in the mid 90's I believe, so you may be on to something here!

I think PC fouls stopped resulting in FTs sometime in the mid/late 90's.
