Probably have Gino and Alphonse take him out behind the wood shed.

Others have previously suggested granting the fouled team the choice between the FTs or possession (and a new shot clock to go with it).

Camron - I think that would be a fair arrangement. Here's something else to consider, however it's sort of convoluted. If an "off the ball" foul occurs, any player on the team that was fouled (who is on the floor) can shoot the free throws. If there's an 85% shooter on the floor, there's really no point in fouling off the ball against a 52% shooter.

I think Rick Barry would have loved this one.

I suggest if they do this then the team gets to choose who shoots the free throw.


Geeez I didnt think my screen-name would be a big deal. I grew up around all that stuff. Sorry fellas.

I just despise criminals and their glorification.

Then why choose a nickname that appears to proclaim your lifelong devotion and undying support of it?

That's an excellent idea.

I believe that this is actually the rule on an "away from the play" foul, although the rule only kicks in during the last two minutes of the 4th quarter or OT, as was pointed out earlier.

Actually, I believe that the rule is one FT by any player and retention of the ball.

So the question would be is two FTs by any player, but no awarding of possession better or worse?

Yes, but I was only addressing the part of Mark's post that suggeted letting any player on the floor shoot the free throws. Sorry for the confusion.
