And One

And One is defined by making a basket, while at the same time drawing a foul. This gives the player the opportunity to score an additional point, since the player will be awarded one foul shot. When this happens the team is credited with the original two (or three) points and, if the foul shot is made, an additional one point.

This is common in break-away situations, when the defense is off balance, or when forcing the ball down low. Teams that practice shooting under defensive pressure are more successful at winning the and one situations. A good foul shooting percentage is also important to convert on the and one.

Aggressive, shot-blocking defenses are more susceptible to the and one situation than other, less aggressive styles. Consequently, faster, break-away oriented offenses draw more and one calls than slower, set-up style offenses. Players who are good at placing their body between the defender and the ball during their shot will draw more shooting fouls also.
