Very rarely does a bad free throw shooter shoot free throws at end of game situations because his teammates don't pass him the ball when they know the other team is looking to foul.
Incorrect...the act of intentional fouling has now been extended to "jump on their back while boxing out" and "run through them when they are setting a screen". If Andre Drummond is on the floor in the last two minutes, he essentially has to stand in the corner to avoid being fouled and he never touches the ball.

Too lazy to read this thread. I know the purists have probably made their point and changing a basic tenet/historical tactic of the game seems crazy, but I have always felt that fouling to catch up cheapens the game and defeats the purpose of a good floor game/game control. FTs should be a reward, not a penalty IMO.
