scoring of that variation, in which baskets from inside the arc are worth 1 point and those from outside the arc are worth 2 points. If the player's team has 6 or fewer team fouls in the game, and the foul was not in the act of shooting, the team fouled gets possession of the ball. Starting with the team's seventh foul in the game, the player fouled gets two free throws. This applies even on shooting fouls, regardless of the result of the field goal attempt.

A free throw violation also occurs if a free throw misses the backboard, rim, and basket. If a free throw violation is assessed on the last free throw awarded to a player in a given situation, possession automatically reverts to the opposing team.

Blocking fouls are easily called when the defensive player is standing in the "restricted zone".

This was to prevent defensive players from attempting to draw an offensive foul on their opponents by standing underneath the basket. FIBA adopted this arc with a radius in 2010.
