Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 4993797, member: 874"] I think they have done that by making guys foul out after 5 fouls and having the bonus/double bonus in place. The guys that foul out most frequently are interior players. The guys that are the worst foul shooters tend to be interior players. Taking away the foul out rule is guaranteeing that big guys will hack anyone that gets close to a layup, especially bigs. You'd rather make a guy earn his points at the free throw line than get layups, especially if it's a crappy free throw shooter. Increasing the number of free throws a guy shoots after he gets more than 5 fouls is less of a deterent than a guy fouling out and that would have fans watching more of what is the least desireable part of the game while lengthening game times. No matter the rules, strategy will always be a part of the game, and part of that strategy will be to target certain players for a variety of reasons. [/QUOTE]
