Should a team be able to accept a non-shooting foul against them, and then decline the bonus shots in favor of a throw in at the spot? Would be similar to football's 'accept the penalty and decline the distance' procedure.
It seems that a team with poor free throw shooters is being put at a disadvantage after B's illegal act or foul, especially where a team puts the other in the bonus early. There are many cases where a team would have preferred not to have been fouled, and by that B gained an advantage that is not intended by rule.
Please no cop-out answers like, "A should have better FT shooters."
Do you like or dislike the idea and why or why not? If it as considered, would you place time restrictions like "up to the last two minutes of the half or last period", etc. Thanks in advance.
