There are several major rule changes this year for basketball.
There is no more 1 and 1 bonus free throws. All bonus free throws are now 2 shots.
Team bonus now starts at the 5th foul per quarter. Each quarter, team fouls reset. Scoreboard will only show max of 5 fouls per quarter.
Again these are big changes for basketball. Please be patient with coaches, scoreboard operators, and officials.
Go Dragons!
