Last two minutes

[Jay R]

What the original post was referring to is quite different than NFHS.

In FIBA, in the last two minutes of the 4th (or OT), any defensive foul that occurs before the inbounder has released the ball is automatically called an unsportsmanlike foul. The penalty is two FTs and possession.

Thus some officials hesitate to call these fouls since the penalty is harsher than during the rest of the game. Panther Dreams referrred to dead ball foul but I Think he meant live ball but before the ball is released on the throw in.
