The one-and-one free throw situation is a thing of the past in high school basketball. In an effort to decrease injuries due to battling after the first shot of the old bonus situation, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Basketball Rules Committee adopted the method used by the NCAA for women’s games since the 2015 season when the women switched to four quarters rather than two halves. Teams will now shoot two free throws after the fifth foul in each quarter with the team foul totals reset after each quarter back to zero.
This new rule should also reduce the length of games as was shown Wednesday night when Canyon del Oro defeated Sahuarita 63-46 at home in just over an hour. Getting to the fifth foul in each quarter before shooting free throws in just eight minutes of play might prove to be a high bar and games should flow more smoothly now.
