offensive fouls
Attacker commits infraction
In basketball, offensive fouls are violations committed by the team with the ball—charging into a defender, pushing off to create space, or setting an illegal screen.
The distinction from defensive fouls matters because offensive fouls result in a turnover rather than free throws: He picked up his third offensive foul trying to power through the lane.
