Solution
- A free throw is an opportunity given to a player to score one point, uncontested, from a position behind the free-throw line and inside the semicircle. Usually, the opposing team fouls the shooter before awarding free throws.
- Free throws are also awarded in other situations, including technical fouls and when the fouling team has entered the bonus/penalty situation (after a team commits a requisite number of fouls, each subsequent foul results in free throws regardless of the type of foul committed).
