They could, gasp, actually go hard for the ball. If they're not good enough to foul a dribbler, that is on them.

As for playing keep away, that is what the shot clock is for. They only have 30 seconds to use if they want it. They don't have a full half to use like some teams would do in the past.

I agree just find it interesting.

POE this year in FIBA is calling unsportsmanlike fouls when teams do not make a play on the ball to commit fouls.

In my mind I struggle with, if a player can turn their back and move away from me and how can defense commit a foul that is a play on the ball that disadvantages them without blatantly taking out their body or wrapping them up.

If the standard is you have to foul making a basket play on ball but the offensive player is now not making basketball plays what does d do?

Why do you struggle with the fact that a player on defense from the team which is trailing has difficulty doing something which is illegal in order to attempt to gain an advantage or a favorable outcome for his team (stop the clock/make the opponent make FTs)?

Here's an idea--play better earlier and don't be behind late in the game.

My opinion is that the team which is leading should have the benefit late in the game. Why? Because they've earned it.

I agree with the distinguished gentleman from the land of silver.
