Agree with that...but...

These same officials will always find an excuse not to call a technical foul anyway, no matter what the penalty is. They want to be loved and they just can't understand that just ain't gonna happen. You can be respected, though. And imo coaches really don't respect officials that they can run rough-shod over.

Give up one FT to a bad FT-shooting opponent? You'll be seeing some coaches getting a "T" every single game. It'll be part of their game strategy.

The NFHS had exactly what you're suggesting 50 years ago iirc. They then went to 2FT's and losing the ball because they found that a single FT was no real deterrent to unsporting conduct.
