Was this put in by the NCAA so a team can't fake an injury in a crucial moment of the game to allow their best player to shoot the FT and then the "injured" player would miraculously recover within the next minute or two? My initial thought was "that's a dumb for an injured player" but thought about it a little more. It is a good idea to do this, forcing the coach to take a time out if he wants the injured player to shoot the FTs instead of having an equal or better FT shooter take the line.

What do you think the chances are for the NFHS (and other associations) to adopt something like this?

Hopefully nil.

The new rule change stems from the 2nd round NCAA tournament game between Missouri and Marquette played at Boise, ID. The game was tied with about five seconds left when a Missouri player was fouled and stayed down. Missouri put in a sub from the bench, who statistically was a worse FT shooter than the fouled player, and he made both. The problem was that Missouri then sent the fouled player to the table to check back in following the 2nd FT! (The officials correctly denied his re-entry at this time.) This made the situation look suspicious.

I attended this game and had the chance to speak with one of the officials from it at a camp this past summer. He welcomed the rule change because it takes the pressure off the officials. He stated that there was no way that an official should be put in the position to have to determine if the player really is injured and can't attempt the FTs.
