Basketballs fans don't watch a game in hopes of seeing lots of free-throws. The current rules allow a team that is losing to foul the opponents and then hope that they miss the free throws so that they get the ball back and score a basket. The last two minutes of a game can take a half hour. And, why
should fouling an opponent be a viable strategy anyway? It should always be bad idea to foul an opponent, never good. An easy solution is to allow a fouled player one free throw, and then afterwards his team gets a free inbound pass at half court. After a certain number of fouls in the game, it would be two free throws and a free inbound pass. This would lead to fewer fouls, and more excitement.

Despite the fact that basketball is the third-most boring
team sport in the world and therefore probably not worth
the effort of trying to improve, this would probably help.
Bun for effort. |

Basketball was intended to be a non-contact sport, and when played properly, contact in basketball makes no more sense than contact in chess. The kind of "bang-bang" action in a well-turned baseball double-play is what basketball is supposed to be made of, all the time, on every possession. |

Really it should be fish or cut bait: fouling is either
bad strategy or glorious cheerable bread and butter,
like in hockey. |

Which is undeniably the absolute pinnacle of team sports. |
