| Fifth foul (personal and technical fouls combined) | Disqualified |
| Second technical foul | Ejected |
| One flagrant foul (personal or technical) | Ejected |
| Fighting | Ejected |
- These limits apply to all team members and bench personnel.
- Personal, technical and intentional fouls all count toward the player's total, the team-foul total and disqualification.
- The team has a 15-second replacement interval to send in a substitute for a disqualified, ejected or injured player. The timer signals when it expires.
- If a disqualified player comes back into the game, it is a direct technical foul on the head coach.
