Thinking Cap Friday: improving end-games

I think the prime example was the Knicks Clevland NBA game I watched several months back.

With one minute to go, there was a 10 point difference, and after 20 mins of watching time outs, foul shots, and hasty 3 second offences, I gave up and turned it off without seeing the end of the game.

If we are trying to market the NBL to FTA TV, we cannot have this nonsense occur every game, where game time can blow out so much, without OVer Time Occuring.

I HATE the end game foul-a-thons. Last 36er v Kings home game went that way, & with 02:48 on the clock. WTF, in that time, Draper went from locked down, to = 2nd team high scorer.
Deliberate foul penalties should be re-introduced to bring back the fight-back spirit.

Funny enough I was only thinking and discussing this last night.

Firstly, in all my years of BBall, I think I have only ever seen multipel time outs, fouling players, scamming every second possible only work twice to get an upset win - yet every coach persists with it.

It rarely works, and makes the game ending rather boring.

Anyways - My solution - make the last 30 or 60 seconds of a game 'Hot' time - no time outs allowed, and fouls result in 2 shots plus possesion.

Or bring back the Intentional Foul Rule

Maybe in the last 2mins of the game if a foul is made to send someone to the line any of the 5 players on that team can shoot the two shots (except in shooting foul situations), will teams keep fouling if Brett Maher (or CJ or whoever) ends up taking every shot?
