I've never had it happen to that extent. My point wasn't whether your or I see them as the same; but that there are quite a few who feel last minute fouling "isn't basketball." I disagree with them just as I disagree with you on this. It's not as if they're turning down layups; they're running their offense looking for layups and being extremely patient and disciplined.

Even if they were turning down layups; do we ever condemn the team that's leading by 4 with 10 seconds left when they actually turn down a wide open layup and pass the ball around for 10 seconds?
