I just don't understand why a team should gain by fouling. In the last two minutes........ change the rule so that the team fouled gets the free shots AND the ball out of bounds. Like a technical foul.

Stop all of the ridiculous fouling, to make the opposing team shoot free throws and hope they miss.

He could have saved everyone a lot of time had he just said, "I wish college basketball used the NBA's rules."

That's basically what he saying.

However, to that, I think that's a terrible suggestion. If I wanted to watch NBA basketball, I would watch the NBA. I have no interest in the NBA, in part because the rules are too skewed towards offense. It robs the game of its balance, which in turn makes it less interesting to me.

I enjoy the NBA, in fact I'm more likely to watch NBA than college but there are not 4,500 players a year capable of playing an NBA style game in an entertaining manner.
