You just keep giving Team A possession of the ball to rinse and repeat over and over, the advantage goes to team A because there is no incentive to shoot the ball. Just keep getting fouled, shot clock is reset and its the same shite over and over and over. There is likely no change of possession unless team A stupidly decides to shoot the ball.
Why should team B get an opportunity to possess the ball? Fouling just to get possession is unfair to team A if you want to go down that road.

It isn't if Team A simply makes their free throws and builds their lead. You see it all the time in basketball. There are teams out there who make their shots and build their lead, and all the end of game fouling does nothing to help. There is a small sample of games where the hacking actually leads to the fouling team winning. I'll admit it happens more in the NBA because they are just not calling intentional fouls. They have no problem reviewing clear path fouls, flagrant fouls, but they refuse to call intentional fouls just that. Again, if you are going to call off the ball fouls intentional and award the ball and shots, then you have to do it for all of the late game fouls because they are all intended to happen by the fouling team.
Look I am on your side, I hate the bullshite at the end of games with all the fouling. It makes the end of the game last forever.
