A foul is counted when a player commits an infraction in the act of shooting or touching the ball. The penalty for fouling out is that player can no longer participate in the game, and his team must play with one less player. Scoring points after committing six personal fouls has been prohibited since 1954 because it was felt to be unfair; as compared to other sports such as football, where players are allowed to remain on the field even after committing 10 or more penalties (NFL).
If a player is charged with 6 personal fouls, he or she will have to leave the game.

Have you ever wondered how many fouls it takes to get kicked out of a game? In the NBA, players can gradually receive up to 6 personal and team fouls before being disqualified from the game. The player is allowed two free throws if they commit their sixth personal or team foul with 0:00 left in regulation. If they commit their fifth personal or more than five team fouls at any time during a game, that player will be disqualified, but still able to participate in overtime periods if applicable.
There are five fouls in the National Basketball Association. Three of them take away a free throw, and two force you to forfeit possession of the ball.
The five main rules in basketball are as follows:
The 5 most important rules are that you can't cross the center line, you have to throw the ball in court from above your head, there isn't any contact allowed between players and of course no fighting.
"I've seen it a million times. A player misses the hoop and a fan jumps up to grab the rebound, only to be shoved down by another player who is also trying to get the ball. The first person falls hard on his back or head while the second person grabs the ball for an easy put-back dunk."
Free throws are called so because you get them for free. You don't have to do anything special in order to get them; they're yours whether you want them or not.
Recently, the Atlanta Hawks were forced to play their game against the Philadelphia 76ers with only four players. This is not a typo; there are no zeros missing from that number. In fact, it was even uglier than that because two of those four players were injured and had to be carried off on stretchers during the game!+
If an NBA team runs out of players, then the game is abandoned.
