Should the NBA Change Foul Limit Rules?

[Gameface]

Everything is normal up through 6 fouls, on the 7th you lose a pinky, 8th your little toe, 9th an eye.

Review each game and hold refs accountable. Bonus for well called games, fines and eventual dismissal for poorly called ones.

Do they not do this already? Dems like a pretty obvious thing to do

I like the idea of making a player sit after 6.

While we’re talking about changing stuff, I wished they went to the college rule of 1 and 1 free throws and then the double bonus for 10+ fouls. And the jump ball rule in the NBA is stupid. The amount of bad heaves by the officials, players “stealing” the jump, players winning the jump only to see their teammates fail to collect the ball, is just overwhelming. I wished they’d just use the possession arrow like they do in high school and college. It makes the game far more interesting than seeing Gobert out reaching some short guy only to see the other team get the ball because our guys failed to grab it.

A well-honed conspiracy theorist would point out that the more skilled the official, the more capable they are of influencing a game with selective calls at selective times. The bozo refs will get weeded out of the league because they don’t have the skill needed to influence games without being obvious cheats. I mean, if you are inclined to believe refs are intentionally slanting games ala Tim Donaghy.

Award other team a free throw fir every foul after 6

Whomever gets fouled on the 7th, and all subsequent fouls, gets to sleep with the fouler's wife/girlfriend/sister/mom. Works for the WNBA, too. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

That happens already.

Yeah, and all cops protect and serve.
