Quote from: Al DeFlorioJust give the fouled team the option of taking the ball out of bounds in the last two minutes and the foul-and-call-time-out nonsense will end.
Or one shot and possession?

Sure.  Anything to deter intentional fouling being used as a winning tactic.  The introduction of the three-point shot has exacerbated the situation.  Foul and the opponent has to make two shots to get two points.  You then can make one shot to get three points.

they tried that years ago with shots or possession and it turned into a foul fest.  if teams keep taking it out they will eventually turn it over as the refs wont call a million fouls ie what happened in the baylor/UNC game sat..

better option would be if you commit fouls in the backcourt you get 2 and the ball no matter if its 1-1 that would force teams to play D and once you get to X number of fouls you get 3 because fouling removes teams the chance to shoot 3s if they wanted and that allows teams to foul and gain advantage as well.

Fine.  As long as the fouled team gets the ball.  Basketball is a 40 minute game, not 38 minutes followed by a two minute foul shooting contest.

That takes up to 10 minutes.
