If you think about it, a player control foul only results in the offensive team losing the ball. But an illegal screen or a push by a player trying to get open could result in a 1&1 or a 2 shot bonus. Why is there a difference?
Or how about a play where the dribbler loses control of the ball and runs over the defender. You have to decide if there was player control of the ball when the foul occurred. With my rule change, the penalty would be the same either way.
Does that help?
