I had a similar discussion with a coach a few years back. I said the same thing to the coach and during his time out he tells the players "you've got to stop fouling!" Priceless

Also had the game with two differing styles - One team driving the lane, the other shooting 3 point shots against a packed in zone. Needless to say, the team driving was getting fouled more often. Coach upset and complains. I tell him, coach the other team is just sitting back and you team is grasping at players as they drive to the basket, hence more fouls.
