I'm torn on the idea of getting rid of the 1-1 and resetting fouls. I'd rather see the 1-1 stick around for fouls 5, 6, and 7 and go to double bonus at 8. Though 8 fouls in a quarter could be hard to do, sans end of game situations.
I also don't really like fouling at the end of the game. I know it's part of it, but starting calling it what it is - it's an intentional foul. But they got rid of that rule. 99% of end of game extending fouls are blatantly intentional. I hate it.
Moving the ball up on a time out is dumb. It was stupid when the NBA did it and it's ridiculous.
I do not like getting away from 1-1. If we're breaking it down by quarters, go with 1-1 at the 5th foul and double at 8. It makes sense and still gives you the end of game pressure of hitting the first FT.
Any half-hearted effort to "make a play" isn't going to be called intentional. Most of the fouls have a defender swiping across the arms and towards the ball or they'll body up a little too aggressive. Yes, it's intentional but it's not really in the spirit of the rule. You still see it called if someone reaches out and grabs the jersey or just shoves someone. I saw one called in a game in the last week or so. I wasn't paying close attention to the game and don't remember who it was but it was called. May have been a B1G game. Nobody wants your basic end of game fouls called intentional. Talk about a shitty way to end games. Sure, games would end quicker, but we'd see fewer comebacks succeed.
