On the other hand, a foul is a rule violation that involves physical contact with an opponent. This could include pushing, holding, or illegal blocking. Therefore, the statement "You can commit a violation without touching another player but you commit a foul against an opponent" accurately explains the difference between a violation and a foul in basketball.
