The “hack-a-(insert whoever’s name here)” messes with the integrity of the game much more than this point differential tie-breaker. (alien.top)

I’m reading stuff about players not feeling happy and it this or think it’s “weird” and they have every right to. But I find it funny that we have had years of guys intentionally fouling bad free throw shooters 90 feet away from the basket and nothing about “integrity of the game” being an issue.

For the record. I’m fine with that strategy. If you can exploit a weakness to win a game, then you do it. However, I can admit that that is not basketball the way it was intended to be played.

this strategy has been a thing for decades, snd so has the solution. if teams still dont either recruit guys who can make FTs or coach them to improve their FTs, it is on them
