re: Should basketball coaches be able to decline free throws?

I don't see why not. If you're fouled, you shouldn't be forced to take the shot when you think retaining possession is more advantageous

Because you'll be fouled again a few tenths of a second later. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again.

You'd see a team intentionally foul all its players out just out of spite in a hot game. This idea just isn't realistic.
