In the Fed book this year, it says that fouling to stop the clock is "an acceptable coaching strategy." Which is sort of inconsistent with the idea of intentional foul -- and why I would like to see the term changed.
My idea for years has been 2 shots and the ball for any foul inside of 1 minute to play in the fourth quarter. I don't quite understand why the rules committee would say that committing a rules infraction is an "acceptable strategy."

Thank God you're not on the rules committee. Having a rebounding foul in the waning seconds of a tie game carry the same resulting penalty as a technical foul seems an itsy bit harsh to me.

With a little tweaking, he has a good idea. I would like to see something along the lines of the following, "Any foul committed with under 1 minute remaining in the 4th Q or any extra period by the team behind in the score and while the opponent has team control shall result in the awarding of 2FTs and possesion of the ball at the nearest spot."
This annoying foul, foul, foul at the end of games would cease and teams would have to play quality defense.
