The National Federation of State High School Assn.’s Basketball Rules Committee approved the elimination of one-and-one free-throw situations for boys and girls next season, awarding two free throws for any foul in a bonus situation.

Teams will reach the bonus after the fifth foul is called in each quarter instead of the previously required seven fouls each half. Team fouls will reset each quarter. Previously two free throws, known as the double bonus, were awarded on the 10th foul of a half.
