that foul on Rudy

I don't have a problem with intentional fouls, but I don't particularly like the off ball intentional fouls. If you want that guy on the line, you should have to force the ball into his hands.

Easy solution would be to let the guy with the ball shoot the FT if there is a foul off of the ball. And the fouling while shooting a FT should make the FT no good, the foul occurred before the basket after all, if they foul after it goes in then it's a dead ball technical foul instead. Jumping on somebodies back is just flat out dangerous, what if they had done that to Favors instead of Gobert? With his back already giving him problems that could have cost him more games.

Yes, I agree about off ball fouls. The rule should be something like if it is not part of a "legitimate basketball play" (or some similar language) then it results in a technical shot and the ball back.

Coincidentally I heard on the radio today that Adam Silver has decided to crack down on "hack a Shaq" type intentional fouls. It'll be interesting to learn what the new rules will be. Hopefully they will address this type of thing.

Right. They should make the game all about money instead of game. That has worked well for NBA revenue last 15 years.

Here is a idea. Make the game about the game like NFL does. Do we see NFL cracking down on strategy in 4th quarter? Do we see as least equity as imaginable in NFL? Answer is no.
 
Do we see NFL games grind to a halt during the last minute as players intentionally foul other players? Also, no.
