When Not To Shoot Free Throws?

Let me start out:

1) Common foul, no bonus in effect.
2) Double personal foul.
3) Double Technical foul.
4) Goal tending or basket interference.

One of the main questions I have is how about team control fouls--what are some examples of team control fouls and why you would not shoot foul shots on these?

You did not include simultaneous fouls in your list.

Well you would not shoot FTs on a team control foul because that is what the rules says. Illegal screens, fouls by the team in possession of the ball are usually team control fouls. You need to look at your definitions and this would be rather obvious.

Also you could shoot FTs if a GT or BI took place if there is a foul. You might not shoot as many, but you would still shoot if there is a foul.
