1. Why no timeouts?
2. Why no free throws?

It is all about saving time. After roughly a jillion of these games, we have still not weighed all the angles, be we have decided that timeouts and free throws at this level cost more in time consumption than they add to the game.

3. If you are not shooting other free throws why shoot the ones tied to extreme behavior(T's,intentional,flagrant)? I'd think you'd want to make sure those fouls were punished with 2 points,that were automatic.

The key word is extreme, as you say, and we want to emphasize that this behavior will not be tolerated. This has been debated, be we have decided against putting automatic points on the board for any reason.

I never liked the no press UNTIL rules.Either press or don't,what I've seen is games go in the toilet at the end.

This is also debatable, but we have found that too often this results in either the ball staying on one end for too long at at time, or the game deteriorates into a contest of length-of-the-court passes and layups.
