Team foul question
 

Quick question. Instead of being a referee tonight, I am doing the books for our adult rec league. There are lots of offensive fouls on both sides, which I am adding as team fouls. I am told by one of our referees that an offensive charging foul only counts as a personal foul, not team fouls that add to the bonus. I have been doing it that way for a year now, but I am wondering if I was wrong. We use mostly NCAA rules, but what is the rule on both NCAA and High School on this? I know the NBA does not count them as team fouls, but this is NOT the NBA!

The rule for NCAA and NFHS are the same. And you've been doing it correctly for the last year.

Is this a very veteran official?

In NFHS, fouls committed by the offense absolutely count toward the team total to reach the bonus. All fouls, including technicals, count toward the team total. Did I misunderstand the question?

Wow, I would expect even a fan to know this one.

The only caveat to that rule is that if an offensive foul puts a team over the limits we don't shoot the free throws.I still have to remind myself of that every now and again.

I'm sure that you mean a team control foul, or a player control foul. If you're going to post on a referee forum, you have to speak referee. I would never try to post on a scorekeeper forum, because, you guessed it, I don't speak scorekeeper.
