For 3 seasons in the mid 80's Minnesota expirimented with a no foul out rule. A team that kept a player in after 5 fouls and then committed a 6th foul or beyond was penalized as if the said player had committed an intentional foul. In other words the team that was fouled had the fouled player shoot 2 free throws and then got the ball back. So a player COULD stay in after committing 5 fould but the coach had to make the decision if keeping the player in the game was worth more than the penalty for having a player commit a 6th foul(or more)
