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?

So lets say your favorite team was playing against their arch rivals. Your team is losing and the opponents know this. They stall and take some penalties but are still ahead. When this happens are you sit on your couch say, "Good strategy." Or are you at the edge of your seat yelling?
