Technical foul – A technical foul is called for any action that interferes with the discipline of the game. A technical foul can be called if a player steps onto the court as a substitute without notifying the scorers’ table, or if a player makes an obscene gesture or uses profanity toward another player or one of the officials. Intentional foul – Intentional fouls are usually committed by defensive players in an effort to prevent an opposing player from making a basket or to stop the clock.
