There are actually three conditions. First is called an over the limit team foul ( normally a non-shooting foul away from the ball holder or basket ) but not a shooting foul until this type of foul has occurred for the fifth time in a half. Second is called a technical foul which happens when some one like Dwight Howard has a hissy fit after a disputable referee call. The third is your garden variety defensive or charging offensive foul.
