. Regarding team fouls, each team is allowed up to four team fouls per quarter without penalty. After the fourth team foul in a quarter, the opposing team is awarded free throws on subsequent fouls (the "bonus")
. Summary:
- Individual player foul limit: 6 fouls per game (fouling out at 6)
- Team foul limit per quarter: 4 fouls before the bonus free throws are awarded
