Message: [QUOTE="Tom K., post: 2640718, member: 5812"] I haven't been able to see this in action but on paper I don't like it. I see the appeal somewhat but couldn't you still foul a horrible free throw shooter with pretty good chances that he clanks both and hopefully grab a board? And I very much don't like a team winning a game by 1-2 points when in a traditional game there may have been a few minutes of clock left. You can use it to end blowout games sooner but the fans can make a conscious decision to leave the arena or turn the TV off. I'd prefer to just award a team 2 free throw shots and retain possession in the event of late-game (under 2 minutes) intentional fouling. The appeal of fouling is to stop the clock and get the ball back. Make it so the offending team won't get the ball back. Play straight up defense. [/QUOTE]
