The 2 best solutions-learn to shoot free throws or don't play poor free throw shooters. Should we allow guys that don't dribble very well to just run with the ball?


I don't necessarily disagree that players should make their free throws. But I'm watching the game. I'm not playing or coaching it, and as a consumer I don't want to see that crap. It makes the game unwatchable.

No one ever bought a ticket or turned on their TV to see Hack-a-Shaq.

I understand that. It's a reasonable position. I still don't think the solution involves changing the rules. Hopefully, if the hacking strategy is successful, over time it will lead to one of the two solutions I proposed.

90% of the games I watch, when they start all of the bullshite fouling at the end of games to "catch up" I turn the channel. It's boring as shite, and not entertaining at all. Its especially bad when teams that are down more than 15 points are doing it. It's like it's a human habit to do it.
