They should fix it, somehow. That really ruined the game.

Players should fix it by being able to make a damn FT

Yep. If the guy could ever hit consistantly from the line, people wouldnt be fouling him to get him there. Any big man with a respectable FT average isnt getting hacked all that much.

Well yea its really on the players.. I mean this is a rule they're making really for just a few players in the league. They're changing the rules to take away the obvious and sometimes only weaknesses of otherwise dominant bigmen.

It would obvious help Suns the most, but it kind of needs to have an overall sensible positive effect on the league.

What I don't understand is why D'Antoni kept leaving him in there when it was obvious they were going to keep doing it several times in a row. He had a lot of chances to take him out, too and it was end of the qrters. But D'Antoni was too stubborn to do it, just like he is/was with a lot of things.

Why make a rule to aid players weaknesses... Take the players out of the game or improve their FT shooting.

....because fouling away from the ball intentionally is not basketball. It's strategy because the rules allow it to be. Lets stick to basketball.

^Do you not understand that FT are basketball and that players that are "professionals" should be able to make a 15ft unguarded shot?

With that standard, Shaq should be able to make 3's on a relatively respectable level because, after all, he is a "professional". So therefore weaknesses should not exist.

Fouling away from the ball is a strategy because the rules allow it to be. It's not basketball.

All players shoot the ball, there have been FT's since before any of these players were born. Learn to shoot a FT. Its not that hard.

Great post, and I totally agree. Change this some how, implement a new rule. The NBA might as well, they've changed the game so much to help other stars in the league get touch fouls, and the NBA took out physical play. It only makes sense for the NBA to change the rules on the Hack A Shaq strategy.
