But if the defense commits a T, they lose only two shots because they didn't have possession anyway (actually, there's a valid argument against this train of thought that I admit has its points). Why is it considered worse if a player commits a T when his team has the ball vs. when they don't? It's illogical. Either we should always go to POI after shooting Ts or give the offense an "extra next possession" when the defense commits a T. Using your logic, I'm going to ignore the actual rule and administer games this way because I believe it is "fair".

Good point Mark, your logic makes perfect sense to me and i agree with you that this is wrong. In this thread alone, we've made some excellent points for rules changes. Discussion at it's best...
