This is a serious gripe.
I know it's blasphemy to suggest any changes, like at all, ever because we've done basketball the same ever since Jesus was born, but some of us would actually like to see the game evolve and mean a little something, so sue me.
I'm tired of watching decent games devolve into glorified free throw contests because some team s#cks defensively and can't stay even. Its stupid, it drags the game out, and it seems cheap 98% of the time.
Oh I know, you saw that one team that one time come all the way back from down 54 with 3 minutes left, and what a shame it would have been if you wouldn't have been able to witness it. It was the crowning achievement of your high school career.
Every foul in that situation is an intentional foul. We all know it. Its time to end the practice.
Solution: fouls 7, 8, and 9 are 1 for 1 penalty. 10, 11, and 12 are double penalty. 13 and up are technical fouls. You can foul for six possessions.
If you played awful and are at 12 when you have to start fouling, you lose.
Watching games that are fairly good turn into this crap is not what basketball is about.

I agree with your opinion that every foul in that situation is an intentional foul. I think there needs to be more of an emphasis put on going for the ball or not. If there is no attempt made on the ball with a foul on the dribbler it needs to be called as an intentional foul, period.

Did anyone see a situation at the end of the game called an intentional foul?

heimer wrote:No, because, in my solution, fouling for possession would be impossible. You would not get the ball after a 13th foul, as it would be a technical foul.
I feel the solution ive suggested is generous. You get 24 fouls a game, 12 in each half. There should be penalties for going beyond that.
