I ABSOLUTELY agree the issue of officials not calling fouls during the running clock is completely bogus. In fact, everyone I've talked to says just the opposite - they might call a foul just to stop the action while the clock is still running. Now, if the committee had said that was the problem (too many fouls called), I could live with that explanation, but NOT the problem of not calling fouls. Maybe it does cut into some scrubs playing time, but if coaches are on the ball, they can take care of that easily. Besides, if coaches are too busy criticizing the officials instead of taking care of the game and their players, I can see where they might miss out on those opportunities...
