I guess you're not a fan of the shot-clock rule as they changed it in the NCAA, which precisely "rewards" the defense for kicking the ball, for example.

Talking FIBA, the offence has already had their 8 seconds in the BC, so they're bound to remain in the FC. I don't see anything "dumb" in this. There are dumber rules, IMO (the location of a player can be both in the BC and in the FC, for example). Don't take for dumb anything simply unusual.
