I'm working an established summer league right now that has done it this way for years. No FTs except the last minute of the 2nd half too. A foul in the act is an automatic 2. If ths shot goes in, automatic 3 pts.
It's my first year doing this league, so it's different, but we have a running clock and the players know the drill, so there's no arguing and the play is up and down.
We, as officials, can sit a player down at our discretion if the we have a player consistently fouling. Haven't had one of those yet.
I really like it.
