Thanks for the clarification - I was unaware that the scoring team could not call TO in the NBA - I thought that they could, but upon further review, I can't recall it happening. Guess I never paid that much attention.
One big differeence I see though is that NBA teams rarely gets steals off a press, they just end up fouling anyway, so why burn the TO at that level? The higher the level, the more it just turns into a foul fest and with the clock stoppage on a made basket, I am not sure that this rule really influences the NBA that much.
I happen to like the NF rule - you score and are quickwitted enough to get your TO, more power to you. Scoring carries with it that brief advantage, which just seems to make sense to me.
