Team Control Foul

[drothamel]

I can almost guarantee there is going to be MAJOR confusion over this rule. I do think it is a great change, however.

Z brings up a good situation: rebounding action. Team B in the bonus. A1 Shoots, A2 fouls B2 in an attempt to gain the rebound. By rule, B2 gets the bonus free throws. Can you imagine trying to explain team control to the coach of team A? Like anything, some coaches are going to understand it, but I think there are going to be some problems for the first year of the new rule.

Add to that lack of a signal for a team control foul, and I can definitely see some confusion coming this year. Why don't we just use the same signal as player control, which everyone knows means no shots?
