I don't understand why a coach wouldn't teach their players see a fouling situation as an opportunity to risk everything to get a steal. Isn't a steal always preferred over a foul in these situations?
We had a game that we were winning by one with four seconds on the clock and the opponent inbounding at 1/2 court. We had three fouls to give so I told me kids to go all out and take a shot at a steal on the first inbound attempt and then try to swat the ball after a dribble or two on the next two attempts. Result: 1st attempt, insane pressure on inbounding team, we steal game over.
They say it's what you emphasize, so why not emphasize steal attempt that results in a foul if you don't get it.
