Too many coaches are doing exactly what is described, trying to slow down the game, set up plays, and other stuff. It's slowing the game down and needs to be eliminated.

I belive that we should not allow a sub here. It is the only place where we allow a sub on a scored basket. Just because the clock is stopped? I say dump the rule
You have to be kidding, right?

So no shooter can ever leave the game, and it makes no difference that A6 may have been at the table before the foul.

A coach never reacts to a substitution from the other team, and by the time their player gets to the table the final FT has been administered.

Most coaches will set up their press after a made hoop, so just what strategic advantage is gained by the sub? If anything it gives the throwing team a free look at how the defense sets up.

Does it add a few seconds to the game? Sure, why not get rid of free throws and timeouts too, since they take up far more time than subs coming in after a made FT.
