Remember the "force-out" (should have been called the "bail-out", because it enabled the official to shirk the foul call).
Remember the timeouts called in midair to prevent a turnover? Oh, yeah -- they still allow that garbage!
Remember the fouls every two seconds in the last three minutes of every basketball game which change the outcome of maybe 1 game out of 100 but prolong the final buzzer by a good 30 minutes? Oh yeah -- that's still the teeth-grinding strategy.
No wonder I watch less and less basketball.
Timeouts = commercials. Nuff said.
