In the NBA you are allowed to have 6 fouls, but usually you get five fouls in high school, middle school, and college basketball.
Only five fouls in highschool and college, and six fouls in the NBA
Each player gets 5 personal fouls.
there are 4 fouls for a team in basketball
A player only has up to five fouls from high school up to college, and the NBA allows six fouls before fouling out. A team; however, may foul as many times as they want, granted they have the players to do so. In my experience,only 5 fouls are allowed per basketball game. If you have 3, your coach may call a time-out and tell you to be careful. If you have 4 fouls, it is most likely that you will be taken out of the game unless there is not a large amount of time left in the game. 5 fouls are allowed in anything up to and including college. In the NBA, players are allowed 6. Five is the limit in international play.
There are personal fouls, technical fouls, and flagerant fouls. So, there are 3 different types of fouls in basketball.
in basketball you always get 5 fouls and then you are out. =)
