There's always one. See, this is the part I don't get. If the Committee of People Who Decide How Basketball Ought to be Played thought intentional fouls in the waning seconds of a game were a violation of the intent, it wouldn't be that hard to change. Instead of two shots, the fouled team would get one shot and the ball back. Now there is no reason whatsoever to foul away from the hoop on purpose, and the behavior stops immediately. Again, this is all hypothetical, but if the people who write the rules decide to let it stand, how can you get upset? Is it difficult to watch sports when you're getting mad all the time?
