AMEN...we don't decide the games...the actions of the players decides the games! This is a "not so smart" action that may or may not decide this particular game. If we go back to the original post, the player was awarded the 1 and 1 and they missed the front end. With that being the case I'm willing to bet they wouldn't have made 2 of the 3 anyway...thus the players still are deciding the game...not us. We didn't award the player/team 3 points...we correctly awarded them the opportunity to make those points themselves. They still have to shoot them and in a pressure situation an 85% free throw shooter probably just became a 65% shooter. Gotta call the foul!
