re: End of basketball game opinions wanted - fouling

One thing you could do is always give a team an option to forego free throws on a non-shooting foul and simply retain possession and in-bound the ball. That way if a team is down in the final minutes and they foul before the ball is inbounded, they simply charge a foul to the offending player and reset the ball. If a team does this twice in a row, technical foul.

IIRC they experimented with something like this for a year or two during the eighties and elected not to continue with it.
