I would like to update the new foul rules per the NFHS.

Under the new rule, team fouls will be tracked and reset by quarter. There will be no one-and-one but instead the opposing team will shoot two free throws after the fifth foul of each quarter.^[1] Sar7w6 (talk) 00:00, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gay Basketball?[edit]

the bulleted entry "Gay Basketball" does not refer to any specific variation of rules or officiating as far as i can tell. if this is organized under any prominent governing body, it should be listed. i question if this should be moved to the Recreational Basketball section, or removed entirely. 173.48.32.101 (talk) 05:04, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
