To quote the wife when she first heard this idea last night:
"I don't see 6 fouls or five making any real difference. The problem is that they don't call the game by the rules, and they don't call the rules with consistency. If they were serious about calling the game by the rules players would be getting called for palming the ball. They aren't, because the refs don't call it, because the refs aren't serious about calling to the rules."

Instead of having 6 fouls, why not add another official or two? This would add better floor coverage, officials wouldn't be out of position as much, and more eyes would see what is going on.

First this would be a reason for more off the ball fouls to be called, and that was one of the reason being given for adding a 6th foul, was due to them adding the 3rd ref a couple years ago and now more eyes see more fouls...
I don't know that a 6th foul would call for more fouls, unles sof course you are playing against teams like us and have big guys that are otherwise unstoppable at times and struggles at the foul line...
My problem, is like the GTown game, when Oden got the moving screen foul, and the charge call. First they were both ticky tack fouls, second instead of the guy playing defense on the second one all he did was act like Oden made him fall backwards ten yards, and I don't see a reason to call a moving screen unless of course you crush the guy and you are not absolutely set. You could make the moving screen call all the time and it was like the refs decided they would give Oden them [censored]ty calls all within 1:30 into the game...
Then last night, Conley was guarding the guy 40 ft from the basket and while there might of been contact, it isnt like he was mugging the guy or knocked him down and they gave him a foul...If they are going to call this ticky tack stuff it doesnt allow the guys to be physical and forces you to let he guy go around you if you feel you will make contact at all...

With an unlimited foul rule, I could see a "free throws and the ball" after a certain number then a "3 free throws for a normal bonus foul and 4 for a 3pt foul and the ball"
that would eliminate the hack job on people like Oden.

I could see something like this...
But you could have a 6th foul result in 2 shots and the ball... |

or you could go back to having officials officiate a zone and not the ball. sometimes its good to reinvent the wheel. other times its good to go back to the wheel...

Any way you look at it, something needs to be done, b/c I hate it when the game is effected by foul calls... |
