I was curious about this, and how the aggression trait actually manifests itself in games, so I did a very crude analysis just now to see whether there was any correlation between the number of foul shots taken by a player per 48 minutes played vs. the number of fouls committed by that same player per 48 minutes played.

See chart:

For the sample size, I loaded all the data from season 32 of my league -- every player who had played at least 15 mpg in at least 10 games. It ended up being about 130 players across 88,000 minutes. It's a really small sample size in the scheme of things. I wish I could've made it more comprehensive by unfortunately I just don't have the time atm.

Since I'm not a stat head, I honestly have no idea how significant that slope is.
