Again, I think this is a foul. But any action designed solely to draw is ugly and a short distance to an unwatchable and unmanageable game.

This offensive player clearly committed a foul, but if he were at half court and looking to the side and the same contact occurred it would still be a TC foul by rule. Do we want that to be part of the game? Intentionally stepping in front of unaware players in order to rack up team fouls?

The play in question isn’t that, but it’s not too far off.
