I meant to say "fouling" is a no-brainer. Not the timeout. It was late and it was a typo.
I showed the clip to show a possibility of what CAN happen when inbounding the ball, since you thought it should be automatic for a college-level player to inbound the ball.
As far as being "results oriented," you're a pretty good example of that. If the kid doesn't knock down the 3, no one says shit about not fouling.
I've already made all my arguments, some of them twice, but in all honesty, I've forgotten more about basketball than you'll EVER KNOW. Not trying to be a dick, but it's true. If you'd like, I'll post a poll at one of my coaching forums and show you the results on the foul / not to foul argument.
Also, when is the last time anybody has seen the "foul when up by 3" strategy used?
