I have an Center with Atrocious OD. The last 2 games he gets fouled out after 17 and 28 minutes. Is there a relation or just coincidence? Because if it is a relation then I will switch to an other trainee.

You should look at all of his past games (not just the last 2), and see if there's a trend of being foul prone.

it might play a role, but in Centers, it shouldn't matter too much. He might simply be a very aggressive player, in which case he'll need lots of experience before becoming less foul-prone.

experienced players make less bad decisions, so in particular they'll foul less when already in foul trouble.

That said, ultra-aggressive guys have a much harder time getting experience, too...

That's interesting. In your opinion, how many fouls per game is the limit for a player, in order for that player to be useful or training-worthy etc?

Also, in general, does raising defense lower foul rate?

For a trainee, my limit is 3 fouls per 48 minutes. more, and he'll start fouling out regularly.

Raising defense does lower fouls, but only a little. Aggressiveness has much more of an influence than the level of defense, but both do play a role.

no doubt hes an aggressive player
stamina, exp & OD will help foul less
but the main problem is he is playing much stronger match up
try zone D and patient it help a bit,by lowering the # of total procession
