My point had nothing to do with this game in particular. To me it is such an easy fix but it may make the end of games more boring. What is an NFL team to do when they are down by 14 points without the ball and 2 min left. They lose. They don't keep jumping offsides to stop the clock in hopes of getting a cheap chance to win the game. Yes it is part of the strategy, yes if I was a coach I would foul, my point is it shouldn't be a part of the game. Why not let the team who was fouled have the option of taking the ball in from out of bounds. NFL teams can decline penaltys if they think it is advantageous why shouldn't basketball teams. Yes games would be decided earlier, but it would be decided by how they play on the court, not how they shoot from the line.
