re: Good ways to end "Hack-a-Shaq"...

You just figure out the form that works the best for you and go with it. Shaq wasn't willing to even try underhanded free throws because it would hurt his pride. You shouldn't change the game because a couple guys are prideful IMO. The rule isn't fun to watch, but I get it. If you have a weakness and your game and there's a place to exploit it you shouldn't be able to eliminate that. I mean, I wish we could sub out Dirk on every defensive possession but that idea isn't going to fly.

I understand your sentiment, but is declining FTs and just keeping the ball really that big of a change?
The current rule is akin to the NFL forcing an offense to accept a 5 yard offsides penalty or a 10 yard defensive holding penalty instead of the result of the play.
When Mr. Naismith was writing down the rules of basketball, I highly doubt he anticipated teams actively trying to foul players off of the ball. I think your sport has a problem when getting penalized is the goal of your team during a play.
