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

This idea just isn't realistic.

quote:Think about it. You and I are down 8 with a minute to go. Our style of play instantly changes to BALLS TO THE WALL errant defense because the only thing that helps us is a steal, and a foul doesn't hurt us (beyond individual foul trouble) since all it does is stop the clock when the team declines the free throws. It would make the end of the game longer and worse than it already is. If I'm beat on an inbounds pass, all I have to do is grab a jersey, and then we just reset the whole play, and no time has run off the clock.
Why would they keep fouling?
Interesting idea, and I like the cut of the jib of anyone who thinks along these lines, but the result of such a rule would be catastrophic.
