I believe it addresses the potential tactic of having a poor FT shooter exaggerate the effect of a foul in order to allow the coach the chance to insert the team's best FT shooter....then sub him back out after making the 2-3 FTs (replacing him not with A1 but with a better defender or all around player).

The change will limit the possible FT shooters to those that team A's coach was already comfortable with being on the floor (which may also include their best FT shooters) but balances it by allowing coach B to select which one shoots.

As for inviting hard fouls....I would hope that the rule doesn't apply to intentional or flagrant fouls.
