Totally agree with the bolded. Whenever the shot clock is winding down, it seems like the go-to play for most teams is to have the guard dribble right into the middle of the lane and create contact. It's horrible basketball, and officials have let it become standard practice.

I think it's a $10 gift card to Valentino's.
No it's to Misty's. We are a first class operation
I hate horn sounds. Reduce the stoppages !!
My rules ....
My rules ....
- fly-by-night substitute rule. Clock is running. Just like ice hockey.
- reduce time out. 3 per half.
- eliminate free throw attempts. If fouled, then surrender 2 or 3 scoreboard points.

This is the current women's rule, with an actual quarter break. I don't think it has increased fouling because the result is always two free throws instead the 1 and 1 on fouls 7,8,9.
The negative is it rewards a team or player that’s a poor free throw shooter. We already reward players for lacking certain fundamentals, I hate seeing it in this area too.
Understand your point, but the women's game seems to have better free throw shooting than the men's game. I suppose if most players are hitting the front end of the 1-and-1, it doesn't matter if you have the 1-and-1 or two shots. And since you are getting two shots anyways, maybe it discourages trying to foul a poor foul shooter a little. I'm not sure.
My philosophy has always been, bricklayers deserve public shaming. If you get all the excitement from delivering the windmill dunk, you deserve the horror of being in the game late, being at risk of barely drawing iron on your free throw. It bothers me that we are trying to reduce the stops in play by manipulating free throws. We created the problem by encouraging the current game. If they want the game to flow smoother, don’t reward sloppy play.
I'm sure it does, even on 1&1's. I think fouling poor, or any, shooters is an integral part of the game strategy. I say just leave FT's alone.
Creighton did their best to give it away.
SDSU giving texas all they can handle.

Interesting... curious what effect going to quarters would have on men's hoops.
Watching CU losing to TU. 21-44 @ 16:50 left. It's great seeing CU lose. It bites Texass is winning.
