If you are referring to 10.1.5 Situation D, which is not specifically an end-of-game scenario. Regardless, the casebook play calls for a DOG warning, which stops the clock and thereby rewards A for its intentional violation. Bob's suggestions are, to me, quite practical, similar to passing on a slight touch foul when a team wants to foul intentionally.

Ok, thanks. Do you have a cite? I must be overlooking something. In any event, the case play says what Bob said.

We get this question a couple of times each season.
9.2.10 SITUATION A: A1 is out of bounds for a throw-in. B1 reaches through the boundary plane and knocks the ball out of A1's hands. Team B has not been warned previously for a throw-in plane infraction. RULING: B1 is charged with a technical foul and it also results in the official having a team warning recorded and reported to the head coach. COMMENT: In situations with the clock running and five or less seconds left in the game, a throw-in plane violation or interfering with the ball following a goal should be ignored if its only purpose is to stop the clock. However, if the tactic in any way interferes with the thrower's efforts to make a throw-in, a technical foul for delay shall be called even though no previous warning had been issued. In this situation, if the official stopped the clock and issued a team warning, it would allow the team to benefit from the tactic. (4-47-1; 10-1-5b, c; 10-3-10) |

While fouling near the end of the game is an accepted strategy, so is playing keep away to run out the clock. There is a right way to foul and wrong ways to do it. Officials should not favor one team's desire over the other's in such situations. People have discussed having a quick whistle when the offense stands there and allows the defense to foul, but we've also written about being fair to the offensive team when they are passing the ball around and attempting to avoid being fouled. Just because a team wants to foul doesn't mean that it should be given that call. |

Passing the ball around to avoid a foul? Totally different. |

Intentional Unintentional Fouls ...
Agree. Players aren't born already knowing how to intentionally unintentionally foul opponents in late game situations. Coaches, especially middle school, and subvarsity coaches, have to teach this skill.

If I am a player on offense and the other team is trying to foul me, I don't want them to have to foul me hard. If I am playing on defense and trying to foul someone, I would prefer to not foul hard. Other than passing a few more ticks on the clock, I don't see how the game is improved by passing on weak fouls that are meant to stop the clock and both teams want. |
