As for playing keep away, that is what the shot clock is for. They only have 30 seconds to use if they want it. They don't have a full half to use like some teams would do in the past.
I agree just find it interesting.

POE this year in FIBA is calling unsportsmanlike fouls when teams do not make a play on the ball to commit fouls.

In my mind I struggle with, if a player can turn their back and move away from me and how can defense commit a foul that is a play on the ball that disadvantages them without blatantly taking out their body or wrapping them up.

If the standard is you have to foul making a basket play on ball but the offensive player is now not making basketball plays what does d do?
