Fair but how do you make a regular basketball play that disadvantages someone who doesn’t want to go to basket, wants to burn clock, plays with back to rim and wants to play through slaps? Only way to catch rim and get to ball will not look like a basketball play. IMO intent of rule was not to allow teams to run out clock by playing keep away and running away from defense.
