Not sure the rules need to be changed, same applies to everyone

Maybe call the intentional to stop the clock more often when a guy doesn't at least try to steal the ball but just grabs the player and make intentional 1 shot and the ball. There is a sure way to make them pay for fouling...make FT's. Kind of like the line in Money Ball...if they want to give you a free out, take it and say thank you. They want to give you free points, make the shots and say thank you. Last 2 games, we've done just that and won games by wider margins than the game was played.

Intentional foul: for those that have argued the call... -- HOKIE75-79 02/15/2022 12:00PM

IMO, call was right, but the kid did not mean to throw him -- Vienna_Hokie 02/15/2022 12:11PM

Kind of like a lot of college targeting calls ** -- VTCALS72 02/15/2022 12:44PM

Absolutely, except the kid isn't kicked out of the next game for it -- Vienna_Hokie 02/15/2022 12:47PM

Agreed, he didn't mean for it to end up as a tackle -- Pylons 02/15/2022 12:25PM

I think I'd support a change to -- Pylons 02/15/2022 12:11PM

I am not following the logic of changing the rule. -- 1978vtlspe 02/15/2022 12:41PM

Because the intentional foul almost never gets called -- Pylons 02/15/2022 1:03PM

How about running 10 seconds off the clock? -- EDGEMAN 02/15/2022 12:38PM

Actually calling intentional/flagrant fouls would likely help the most -- Pylons 02/15/2022 12:35PM

You are right, but officiating is subjective to begin with, just more there ** -- Vienna_Hokie 02/15/2022 12:40PM

Outside of a few scenarios most teams would just take the free throws... -- Cvillehoops13 02/15/2022 12:30PM

Why is it so important to speed the game up? -- Vienna_Hokie 02/15/2022 12:39PM

Total time matters as well... -- Cvillehoops13 02/15/2022 1:24PM

Matters to TV schedulers, but that's a pretty short sighted approach -- Vienna_Hokie 02/15/2022 1:35PM

We joined the Nut Bowl nearly into the 2nd quarter due that tactic -- TomTurkey 02/15/2022 12:24PM

I remember that, some meaningless Dec NBA game ** -- Vienna_Hokie 02/15/2022 12:27PM

I've often thought that too -- RTFC 02/15/2022 12:19PM

Yeah, I suppose that's possible (or even probable) -- Pylons 02/15/2022 12:23PM
