Or if down 3 pts instead of shooting free throws could elect to take it out and possibly still attempt a 3. Also the fouls add up and players could foul out. The issue would be the trailing team could no longer foul to try to catch up. No more worries about say a fouling and giving up 1 or 2 points so you get more possessions and shoot 2's or 3's to catch up. Basically if you are up say 10 pts with 2 mins left it would become impossible for the opponent to catch up. No longer could they extend the game and hope you miss your free throws. You could theoretically just hold the ball for 30 seconds each possession and run the clock out because they would never get enough attempts to over take you even if you didn't make a fg. Would infinitely speed up the game but you wouldn't see the choking down the stretch. Well then, I don't like it. I don't like to see the games dragging out so long, but eliminating any chance for the trailing team to come back would be much worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
