The ironic thing is, the warning process takes longer than slapping itself. We're taught to only warn if they're slowing down the game.

Issue: End Game - After a team’s 12th foul, make any foul three shots. And, after a team’s 15th foul, give the team that is fouled two shots and the ball.

The whole reason behind the "double bonus" is to deter teams from fouling down the stretch. Has it worked?
