quote:Ah, I gotcha. Fair point. There has to be a way to write the rule change to prevent that type of nonsense. Just spitballing here... 3 fouls within 10 seconds results in 2 shots and possession.
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.

How's this?
Power play. Any time a player is given a foul, he has to go to the scorer's table until the next dead ball. This way, a trailing team can still foul and make their opponent shoot free throws, but that next time up the court will be 4-on-5 until the next dead ball that isn't them fouling again.
