for those not clicking on that link--
here is the radical proposal to do away with the end of game foolishness. It is a fascinating idea:
eliminate the game clock from crunch time. The clock would vanish after the first stoppage under the three-minute mark in the NBA and the four-minute mark in NCAA games. Officials would establish a target score by taking the score of the leading team and adding seven points -- then restart the game without a clock. The team that reaches that target score first wins.
That is an amazing idea-- all the sudden a team behind has to rely on defense to catch up-- rather than hacking.
