Aggie this "idea" is completely against what the book says and what occurs, in reality, in every gym across the country, at all levels.
The "committing of a rules infraction" (as you put it) carries with it a penalty and if a team chooses to accept the penalty because it gives them a chance to win the game then so be it.
Most states don't have a shot clock for HS...if I'm coaching a team that has a lead I'm going "four-corners" and if my team runs it right the only way the other team is getting the ball back is by putting us on the line.
All that has to happen to end the constant fouling at the end of games is better free throw shooting...nuf said!
