Tracking fouls?

I also disagree completely with what you are trying to get at. It may be an unwritten NBA philosophy, but the NBA is entertainment, not basketball. That philosophy has no place at all imo at the amateur level.

I personally have never bought into the fact that the NBA does this. Not because it is not talked about, but I see stars foul out all the time. Shaq fouls out a lot and he is one of the best players in the game. Tim Duncan fouls out quite a few times as well. These are two of the biggest stars and they have in big games not finished those games.

I think this is a myth like many other things you hear players and announcers talk about.
