Maybe they should just play the games under summer rules...no foul outs and running clock.

Dick Vitale has been a proponent of not DQing players for fouls as well.

And the game would go to hell in a hand basket if that was the case. There would be no incentive to not foul people constantly and it would be used as a strategy to make the game what these guys cry about, a foul shooting contest.

This is why I have to roll my eyes every time JVG speaks. Because even if they had 7 fouls then people would complain if a player got 7 fouls.

Peace

Players don't even foul out that often as it is. You only hear of this when a player fouls out during a playoff game or during the tournament.

Shaq used to foul out all the time and people suggested that more fouls should be called on him. People just want it both ways that is all.

There. Fixed it for you.

I suppose any player who fouls out during regulation would then be allowed to return in OT, since he he now has another foul to give?

Good grief.
