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

There is no rule for intentional fouls in the nba!!!

Clear path fouls are intentional fouls.

This isn't a problem in college or high school. This is strictly an NBA strategy because of the way their rules are written. So what we need to do is find out exactly what the rules are for the nba, then we can make assumptions on what the rules should be or how they should be currently enforced.

If you are going to change the way these off the ball fouls are called, and possibly give a team the choice whether to accept possession or the free throws, then I want something in return. I want the bullshite with getting the ball at half court after a time out removed. They are pro's, best players on the planet, make them go full court. You should not be able to call a time out after a basket, and automatically get the ball at half court. It's dumb.
