There is some logic to this. Won't happen (nor should it), but if it did, I'd only give an extra foul to those that were still in the game at the end of regulation.You are allowed 5 fouls for a 40 minute game. So if the game goes into OT, shouldn't you be allowed back in if you fouled out in regulation.
Not sure how old you are but the extra foul the big east tried a hundred years ago suckedI’ve never been a fan of fouling out being a thing at all.
The strategy of the offense attacking a player prone to committing fouls or already with a few fouls on him makes for bad basketball. It’s not a clever or interesting way to win a game.
If you must have a foul limit, make it like 10, so a guy fouling out is a once in a blue moon type of thing. If the fear is that teams will happily send the opponent to the line for 2 shots all game long (unlikely), just make it so any player committing his 6th+ foul, while a team is in the bonus or double bonus, results in an extra FT. So, the bonus is 2 shots automatically, then a 3rd shot if he makes one of the two. Double bonus is 3 shots
While we’re at it, eradicate the 1-and-1. That rule sucks. Just straight to the double bonus.

You think attacking a bad foul prone defender is bad basketball but watching teams shoot a crazy amount of freethrows wouldn't be?I’ve never been a fan of fouling out being a thing at all.

Foul limit is fine the way it is.Id rather they get rid of the 3 point shot and go back to working for the best shot you can get as a team. Bring the big guy back in the game.
Now get off my lawn !!!
One big flaw. Right now you have fouls on plays and fouls on shooters..
Currently on shots you try to block it without fouling, sometimes you do sometimes you dont.
Going forward if every time a guy is going to make a basket you foul and those fouls don't add up then why would every you give up a layup, just foul thru the man,. You would end up with very few and 1s.
The prospect of fouls adding up means you try to make more plays on the ball. No need to worry about that any more.
Then why do they give you an extra TO when the game goes overtime ? It’s logical to treat both the same. To give you an extra time out because the game went over the regulation allotment of time, but to then hold you to the same foul limit is inconsistentYou're allowed 5 fouls per game. Not per "40-minute game."
The original post does not ask for unlimited fouls. Just one more if the game goes OT. Would add alot of fun if you star who had fouled out was suddenly back in business. Sort of like those old WWF tag team matches when the one guy was being pummeled for 5 minutes while his partner was itching to get into the match. Then miraculously on deaths door, the beleaguered wrestler is able to tag out and the fresh combatant flies into the ring and starts whooping’ everything in siteOne big flaw.
