It is easier to teach kids to play good solid defense if they are called for fouls when they are swatting at the ball and not moving their feet. Sitting on the pine in foul trouble soon gives them the idea that they need to work harder on their defense. Look at the good pressing teams in the NCAA.
That makes sense CoachB,
It seems the better coached teams, with respect to the rules, is always penalized in a "liberal" let-em-play game.
