Auburn fouled us 3 or 4 times in the last 2 minutes before we inbounded the ball
That should be an intentional foul. 2 free throws plus the ball. If you foul a guy before the ball is even thrown inbounds, then you doing it on purpose. Don't know why that isn't called an intentional foul.

I realize
that this is a crazy suggestion, but I wish they'd employ some type of "advantage" call like the one used in soccer. That is, if the losing team tries to foul in order to stop the clock etc., the refs wouldn't call it. This opens up a whole can of worms, I understand.

Haven't thought it through all the way either, but your idea made me think of doing something like football, where in the final minute, if the losing team commits a penalty to stop the clock, there's a 10 second runoff. I wonder if something like that might work...
Yeah I just don't remember seeing this before, that you could foul before the ball is even inbounded and run 0 time off the clock and no penalty for it. Why have I not seen this before, has there been some kind of rule change? Or maybe I have just been living under a basketball rock.
I just can't get over how this team is just scrappy and finds a way. I am glad to have been wrong about this team, I went to all the early games and thought there is no way this team wins more than 11 or 12 games. They just continue to improve, would have never thought it. The TCU game left me thinking this was a total disaster, but then the glimmer of light started showing to me in the UFGC game. Good game tonight, the atmosphere is picking up, not a big crowd but definitely better than early ones. I was out of town for the OM and TAM games, so can't compare, but the crowd was much better and more lively than early on.

i've seen some fantastic endings to games occur because of missed free throws. i seem to recall us fouling one of the best free throw shooters in the country (at the time) when i was in school. he missed the FT...and if i remember it right, tony watts won the game in the seconds that followed.
memphis state won an insane game at oral roberts one year via foul shots and steals.
seems like treating fouls under 2 minutes as technicals would put a serious crimp on a fighters' chance.
fouling at the end of the game isn't new to the sport.

So a tie ballgame and a guy gets fouled driving to the basket...free throws as well as the ball. No thanks...
In the NBA, if the defense fouls before the ball is inbounded during the last 2 minutes of a game, its 1 FT plus the ball for the offense. The 1 FT is odd, but its the NBA and they do 1 FT for a lot of stuff.
Anyways, it makes sense. FTs and the ball.
Because it's unnecessary. The problem with college basketball is the skill level has gone down considerably. There's always a potential "reward" for fouling somebody while they are shooting; they might miss the free throws. If you don't want them rewarded, make the free throws. If they come down and shoot a three, they weren't rewarded for the foul any more than they are rewarded by a team only making a 2-pt fieldgoal.
Make the timeouts in the last minute last 10 seconds. Essentially allow stoppage of play and maybe a substitution. It will never happen since the current system is great for ad sales.
Run the clock! Sheesh! Stopping the clock after every made basket is nothing...
more than giving the trailing team an advantage (in their efforts to make a comeback in the final two minutes) by lengthening the game. Conceived and (somewhat) designed to create more "exciting" finishes, that rule has produced many ugly finishes to basketball games.
