Sounds like it's covered already to me...just have to have officials with the guts to call it when it happens.

It's not, tho, really, Camron. In HS or NCAA, you could deem the contact sufficient to warrant a foul without ruling it intentional. The NBA rule eliminates this possibility. If the ball is still in the hands of the inbounder, it's an away-from-the-play foul.
Of course, in HS or NCAA, you could rule such a foul to be intentional; but if the kid's not blatent, that's very unlikely and maybe not even called for. The NBA rule takes the guess-work out of the situation.
Just my opinion.

I'll agree with that...it does take the judgement out. Still, if a team is fouling to preserve time, it should be, by strict NF rules, called an intentional foul. Of course, neither I nor anyone I know actually calls it to the letter of the rule if the players make at least a half-hearted attempt to play the ball or make it look like a typical foul that could have happened at any time of the game.
