Regarding the FT bonus rules; it isn't broken, IMO. I rarely see more than 2 or 3 of those fouls at the end of a close game before it either closes or gets beyond reach.

Ya' know, we're going to have a rules committee meeting soon for our local kids rec league. I might just bring this one up and see if there's any support. I think it would be really interesting to try it in a league like this as an experiment. We sometimes get really rough fouls at the end of games, which is not that unusual for a rec league.

Hate the suggestion. Like Snaq said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Unless the coach and his team are stupid and don't realize that 12 seconds is not enough time to close an 11 point gap.
