INDIANAPOLIS-As of the upcoming high school basketball season in Utah this November, all high school basketball teams in the United States will shoot two free throws for common fouls when in “the bonus.”

This change was made to Rule 4-8-1 and eliminates the one-and-one scenario.

New foul limits each quarter will be set for each quarter for awarding the bonus free throw.

Rules changes were approved by the National Federation of State High School Associations Basketball Rules Committee at its meeting April 24-26 at Indianapolis.

The recommendations were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors.

Teams will reach the bonus when their opponent commits five fouls in each quarter. Team fouls will reset at the end of each quarter.

Throw-in administration was addressed in a change to Rule 7-6-6. When an official administers a throw-in to the wrong team, the error may be fixed before the first dead ball after the ball becomes live unless a change in possession has occurred.

Other approved rule changes include:

Rule 2-1-3 (the official placement of a shot clock operator at the scorer’s table for states using the shot clock [such as Utah]).

Rule 3-4-5 (multiple styles of uniform bottoms may be worn by teammates but they must all be like-colored and adhere to uniform rules as outlined in Rule 3-6-2 concerning logos and trademarks).

Rule 3-5-6 (This addresses undershirts and allows teams to wear a single solid color or solid black for visiting teams with dark jerseys. This grants schools with hard-to-find colors the ability to always wear a black undershirt)

Rule 9-3-3 (This allows a player to step out of bounds and return to the court if they gain no advantage. A player is only penalized if, upon returning inbounds, that player is the first to touch the ball or avoid a violation).
