re: ‘Not enough support’ among GMs to change ‘Hack-a-Shaq’ rule

Someone who watches a little more NBA than I do can correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't some portion of the "hack-a-Shaq" fouls committed away from the ball? If they aren't already, those should be counted as intentional fouls giving the opponent 2 shots and the ball. Hell, if you want, treat it almost like a technical foul where the FT shooter is chosen by the shooting team.
On ball fouls are still fair game though. If you don't like it, learn to make your FTs.
I'm sorry, but EVERY bad FT shooter is a guy who simply doesn't care enough to work to make himself a better FT shooter. For some it will take much more work than others, but EVERY NBA player can become at least an adequate FT shooter

Some guys are just bad FT shooters. I know that is hard to believe, but it's true. If you think Deandre Jordan is not actually trying to be a better shooter, idk what to tell you.

That isn't what hack-a-Shaq is.
Hack-a-Shaq is always done off the ball. It is often done in any random quarter.... first quarter, second quarter, etc. Doesn't matter.
Many teams do it even while they are winning.
They will foul a bad free throw shooter (like Shaq) when he doesn't have the ball. They will often foul him when he's jogging up the court after he passed the ball in.
And they keep doing it over and over and over again each time down the floor.
That's hack-a-Shaq.

That's what I never understood as well. I thought all away-from-the-ball fouls were considered that. That would be the fix I would go for. You want to hack him once he touches the ball, all for it, but blatantly running up and hugging the guy as he runs up the court is insane.
I know that they should become better free throw shooters, which I agree with Chris Webber on that part, but they still have to limit this method
