The fact that teams, and fans, see a benefit in committing fouls should be a red flag but somehow it doesn't seem to resonate in basketball.

No football team intentionally commits penalties to "extend the game" yet it's an accepted practice in basketball.

I can only conclude that there are a lot of stupid people who will always accept the status quo, but that's just me. :roll1:

Well, I always wondered how they could get away with doing it without the refs calling an "intentional foul." Pretty obvious that end of game fouls are intentional. In college, an intentional foul does not have to be violent, as it does in the NBA, where flagrant fouls are called "intentional fouls." In the old days of college basketball, you will recall that players had to make the appearance of going for the ball when fouling to avoid the intentional foul call. There was a lot of acting. It seems like at some point the refs just shrugged and gave the green light to doing it. It gets into a messy situation where a team is trying to steal the ball, perhaps, and gets called for an intentional under your rules, when they were just trying to be aggressive. There are problems with how you assess the game at the end with any changes, also...so I think the 15-minute one minute is probably not going anywhere.

Good job to bounce back, Bucks.:chest:
