Fed needs to drop the idea that fouling to stop the clock is a legitimate coaching strategy. I know its been around forever, but the thought of essentially saying "it is a legitimate coaching strategy to break the rules if you think it will give you an advantage, as long as you are willing to pay for it" is ridiculous.

Why? It's used in other sports. Baseball has the intentional walk; they don't give the batter two bases after the 8th walk. Football teams will often take a delay of game penalty to use more time and give their punter more space to kick.
