Even if so, it should be coaching 101 that such strategies should be on a time limit. Honestly better to just foul right away but at worst give it 5-6 seconds, and not the full 16 of 20 secs.
I agree but from they’re perspective they have the highest steal percentage in press situations

Non-basketball fouls shouldn’t be allowed to extend games. Who the fukk wants to watch teams shoot FTs for 10 min with 30s of game time passing with no attempt at an actual play? They got rid of take fouls throughout the rest of the game for a reason. Play basketball. It’s only strategy because of archaic ass rules.

Its strategy because teams want to win

But it doesn’t make for compelling TV

Maybe the middle ground is putting a limit, similar to how if you commit two fouls in the last 2 minutes the team is automatically in the bonus. Maybe you get 2 take fouls, and after that it’s 1 FT and the team retains possession
