[QUOTE="danielb927, post: 1624849, member: 3372"] The choice of FT vs. throw-in is an interesting idea, hadn't heard that one before. Not sure how much it will really help, though, because it still doesn't remove the incentive to foul to lengthen the game (it's still easier and faster, in terms of clock time, to get a steal on an inbounds, versus during the flow of play). IMO what they ought to do instead is go to hockey-like foul rules: signal with a hand up when it occurs, but don't whistle it until one of two things happens: 1) loss of possession -> treat it as non-shooting fouls are currently treated (ball out of bounds, bonus, double bonus, etc.) 2) there's a shot attempt -> treat it as a shooting foul A shooting foul is basically a case where you go to #2 immediately, so those wouldn't change. And charges would also be the same under case #1, since the team receiving the foul didn't have possession to begin with This does give the offense a bit more advantage, but it has the [B]very clear benefit[/B] (IMO) of making fouls [B]always[/B] [B]bad [/B]for the fouling team. Specifically, the following situations where fouling can currently help the defense are improved: - The only useful goal in end-game situations becomes legally stealing the ball. If you can get the ball back without fouling, great; otherwise, tough luck. No more half-hearted touching to "foul" and extend the game ad nauseum (and no need to change to the Elam ending, which I don't hate but don't love). - A shot opportunity is always a shot opportunity, even if you had to work through a foul to get there. A non-shooting foul can no longer transform an easy layup into a brand new possession, benefitting the defense. Instead, regular fouls work just like shooting fouls, where any benefit (to the defense) of illegally preventing a shot gets weighed against the risk (to the defense) of an and-1. [/QUOTE]
