(I initially disliked the double bonus, but over time think that it is a good balance in punishing too many fouls.)

All the unnecessary contact and resetting players after that first shot is silly...
BTW, among the reasons why NCAAW went to two shots after the 5th foul was to reduce contact during FTs. They also wanted to increase scoring.

Removing one potential CE is a nice added benefit.
