As for B fouling and A gettting bonus FTs, so what. That is the penalty for fouling while on defense. The penalty for fouling while in control of the ball, player or team, is loss of ball.
***************************
I am ok with the player control, but player off ball commits a foul and we are in the bonus they shoul shoot.
Would you be ok with it if you were on that defensive team.
Not judging you BZ but did you play the game, not making a personal attack.
I did and still do and I dont like it not saying that I wont administer it.
If B2 fouls A2 while A1 has teh ball and A is in the bonus A2 would shoot. (correct) not only are they getting to keep the ball but they are getting to shoot if in the bonus.
But now if A2 fouls B2 while A1 has the ball all you do is give the ball to B (even if they were in the bonus) (correct).
I could really care less as an official becuase all i have to do is administer it. but look at it as a player who is really getting that advantage!!!

They are not keeping the ball, they are shooting FTs. If they miss the defense has a chance to get the ball.
You are making it sound like they shoot FTs and then get the ball back, and that is a big difference.
The offense is not gaining an advantage, the defense is not getting disadvantaged.
Look at it this way:
B is ahead by 1 with 10 seconds left, in the bonus, are crappy free throw shooters, but great ball handlers and passers. A3 commits a foul on B5...B's worst FT shooter...while A1 is dribbling the ball. Under the new rule it's B's ball for a throw-in, they have a chance to run the clock and possibly avoid getting fouled and win the game.
Under your preferred rule, B5 comes down and bricks the first of a 1 and 1 and A gets another shot to win the game.
Again where is the disadvantage for team B in this situation?

This is what I will do, as an official i will enforce the rules to the utmost. As a player I dont like it at all.
But you never answered did you ever play the game.

I did not answer because it has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion.
From my experience officials that try too hard to officiate from the player's perspective and interpret the rules with that in mind tend to make the worst officials.
