However, at that level of basketball, each player is only allowed five fouls before being removed.
That happens as the games last approximately eight minutes less than in the NBA.
What type of fouls are there in NBA basketball?
There are several types of fouls in the NBA.
A player can be issued a personal foul which is usually a physical foul such as pushing hitting and grabbing.
They can be committed by players both in offence and defence.
Flagrant fouls are when a player comes in violent contact with an opponent.
There are two types of this kind of fouls- Flagrant 1 and Flagrant 2.
Players who commit a Flagrant 2 will be automatically removed from the game while the opponent team gets two free throws and possession of the ball.
A technical foul would be anything that does not promote sportsmanship.
It could be a punishment for excessive timeout, delay of game, the number of players on the court or yelling at the referee.
