Basketball is the only sport that encourages fouling

It took over 15 minutes to play the last 1:59 of Wisconsin-Nebraska. The rules encourage this sort of nonsense, and detract from the game.

Two shots AND possession after 10+ fouls puts an end to this silliness.

Not so sure with all the touch fouls being called now. I could see 1 shot and possession as an option. But we need to remove the refs out of the game as much as possible. Let the youngens determine the outcome of the game with two chess masters/douches making calls instead of three meddling middle aged boners. If someone can clean this wordage up and forward it to the NCAA, then you have wasted your time. But thanks.

I think they should split off free throw shooting into its own sport, and have basketball follow hockey rules. Something pisses you off, fight someone about it..

Have you seen basketball players fight? Other than Jermaine O'Neal, Ron Artest and Charles Oakley, it's a bunch of slap fighters and haymakers that have zero chance of connecting.

Daniel Tosh is on point with Artest, black men don't like water and he was trying to go upstream. The chubby kid, or life? Club that baby albino seal.

Something needs to be done but you do not even hear announcers Or anyone else, except us, bringing it up so it will probably go on and on until we get basketball games that last as long as football games.

There's another problem - too many time outs. When you're playing a TV game you get 4 time outs each half so what happens? Coaches hoard time outs so they can several of them in the last 2 minutes. Between that and the fouling you have too many games where the last 2:00 takes 20+ minutes to play.

I feel they should only start with 3 timeouts per team, and lose one if they don't use it by halftime. Way too many times you see one team call TO in the final minute, then the other team immediately call TO as the see the other team's personnel, and then sometimes you see the first team call yet another timeout. That is the biggest problem with college basketball, way too many time outs and the final minutes dragging on forever, yet the college coaches never bring it up as a problem because they're control freaks & probably want more timeouts.

I think the OP has it backwards. MORE sports should implement fouling in the game. I can think of at least a hundred times when a baseball team scored the winning run on a foul ball. Or a football team jumped offsides on a kickoff to prevent the other team from being able to return the kick (F.U., Bielema!), or a tennis player hit the ball into the net to win the game. If you don't like it, go play bunko.
