    I think I could go for the "1 shot and the ball" rule. This would definitely tilt the advantage to the non-fouling team, but still penalize players that can't shoot for shit.

    The last-two-minute rule allows anyone on the team to shoot a single free-throw, and then gives them side out, for any and all off-ball fouls. Do you really want teams getting an extra free throw every time someone pushes off on a rebound (for example)?

    If that's the case, that rule is stupid. It should only apply to intentional off the ball fouls. Not loose ball fouls.

    Who am I to argue his point?...I do agree with it however..sure, coaches are all using the rule to advantage...he said that too but also mentioned it's not good basketball

    That gets back to Blue9's point about giving the refs more power to decide whether or not a foul is intentional. The more judgment we can eliminate from the officiating, the better. That's why I want a simple rule that is applicable to all situations, at all times, and is unambiguous.
    • Shooting foul--free throws.
    • On ball in penalty--free throws.
    • Off ball in penalty--option of free throws or side out.
    • Non-shooting not in penalty--side out
    Clear, concise, simple, and solves the problem.

    Yeah it should be a technical for a flop in game, not an assessed fine afterwards...these players make so much money they don't care about flopping fines...call them out, assess techs for it when it happens, that way it will happen far less, and it'll make for better games

    Who cares about hacking, if a player sucks that bad at Fred throws its his fault...he can work on them and get better or else. The rule is basically to protect players like Deandre Jordan from embarrassing themselves.

    I think everything every foul should equal free throws so refs can't screw teams by calling only on the floor calls for them, and then not calling enough to get them to penalty.

    We don't want more free throws. Too much of the game is decided at the line as it is. Honestly, I have been disgusted by some of the calls Dame has been getting the past few games.

    Hacking. It breaks up the flow of the game and makes it unwatchable. Prospective TV viewers (and really, that's what it's all about these days) don't want to see marathon foul-shooting contests. They want to see teams actually running, passing, and shooting.

    The solution is the following: NO fouls will be called during the last 2 minutes, except in the case of death.

    How so...because it slows the game down...its not as fun to watch...I don't care about that...I'd give up a little more time to keep the rule...there is plenty of fast paced fun already, and its just at the end of quarters...I just down see what's bad about it.

    Do not change the rule. If you can't make free throws get outta here!

    That doesn't seem like that high a number with all the games there have been that probably averages about what 10 a game...

    It doesn't solve the problem, because the problem is the player's inability to hit free throws, not the intentional fouls.
