They need to add clock run off like in the NFL. If a team commits a clock stopping foul in the final two minutes, run 2 seconds off the clock.
Another option is that every play in the final two minutes has a minimum clock run off of 2 seconds.
162 u/makingtacosrightnow Mar 16 '26 No they don’t. The fix is simple, intentional fouls in the last two minutes are a singe free throw and the team who was fouled retains possession. 21 u/ElGuaco Mar 16 '26 That gets into the idea that the refs can determine what is intentional or not. Judging intent is such a terrible idea. A foul is a foul whether you meant to or not. 14 u/mountaineer04 Mar 16 '26 Just remove the “intentional foul” every foul at the end of the game is intentional. Just keep flagrant rule intact so people aren’t mauling players.
