When a basketball TV commentator says Suton has two fouls to give what does that mean?

im not quite sure, but I'm guessing that Suton is a team right?:
every half or period a team's total fouls (adds all the personal fouls of team's players) are added up. If they reach the 4th (NBA) or 7th (NCAA) foul then the opposing team automatically gets to go to the free throw line from then on.
the total amount of team fouls reload at the half. So the commentator means that Suton can still cause two risk-free (except for shot attempt fouls) fouls.
i hope that helps,

When TV commentator says Suton has two fouls to give what does that mean?
I'm guessing the commentator was talking about the team as a whole, not one specific player. When a team has fouls to give it means that they haven't reached the 1 and 1 yet. In this case they would have only committed 5 fouls, and they 1 and 1 isn't reached until they have committed 7. Another possibility is that the player had 3 personal fouls and he could give two more fouls.

What does foul to give mean?
In basketball, teams are allowed to commit a certain number of fouls in a period or half without penalty. Once this number of fouls is exceeded, free throws are awarded when a defensive foul is committed regardless of whether the foul was committed while a player was shooting.In the NBA, up until the 5th foul of a quarter, any defensive foul committed while the offensive player fouled is not shooting does not result in free throws. Once a team commits it's 5th foul, all of that team's fouls committed on defense result in free throws.In U.S. college basketball, up until the 7th foul of a half, any defensive foul committed while the offensive player fouled is not shooting does not result in free throws. Once a team commits it's 7th foul, all of that team's fouls committed on defense result in free throws.You might hear the announcers say that a team is 'in the bonus'. That means that the other team has committed enough fouls (5 in the NBA and 7 in U.S. college) that each time the team is on offense and the other team commits a fouls, the team will shoot free throws.The term 'foul to give' means a team is below the number of fouls allowed in a quarter/half and can commit a defensive foul on a non shooter without having free throws awarded. In the NBA, a team that has committed 3 or less fouls in a quarter is said to have a 'foul to give' because, if they foul a non shooter, it will not result in free throws awarded. In U.S. college, a team that has committed 5 or less fouls in a half is said to have a 'foul to give' because, if they foul a non shooter, it will not result in free throws awarded.You might also hear the announcers say that a team is 'over the limit'. This is the opposite of 'foul to give'. 'Over the limit' means the team has committed enough fouls in a quarter/half so that every defensive foul they commit will result in free throws.
How many fouls allowed before a foul to give?
4 fouls. On the fifth foul the player charged is disqualified from the remainder of the game and the offended player is awarded one or more free throws.
Why was the invented the free throw line?
to slow down the pace of the game, and give players opportunities to benefit from fouls
If a player has five fouls and is not thrown out should points be deducted when they are finally removed from a game of basketball?
In the NBA, a player has 6 fouls, so this must be a high school or college game. If so, points should definitely not be deducted. That would be punishing the players who scored the points. Never deduct points, but instead, reward the other team. Give the team of the player who would not leave a technical foul, allowing the other team to shoot a free-throw.
