So when there are only six eligible players left on a team, and the superstar, and the bench warmer, both have four fouls each, it would behoove the bench warmer to pick up his fifth foul before the superstar picks up his fifth. Coaches would figure out this loophole right away.

I don't like any rule set that allows players to continue playing after they have five fouls. I didn't like it when the Big East experimented with a six foul rule about fifteen years ago, and I don't like it now. This encourages rough play.
