A tweak to make NBA basketball more entertaining and help small market teams


Tired ofthrees all of the time?

Tired ofno defense?

Tired ofno passing?

Pining for thereturn of the big man?

I would lower to5the number of fouls for disqualification.

During the last game with the GSW Curry accrued 3 fouls relatively early in the game. If disqualification came with the 5th foul this would lessen the time Curry was on the court and make him more of a defensive liability than he already is.

Knowing that the best offensive players would have to manage their play more carefully, offenses may develop more movement, give and gos, passing out of the post, in order to induce fouls and cut the effectiveness of the three point shot--usually a skill of the best offensive players.

Because the best offensive players tend to be the poorest defenders this would force teams to diversify their offense and roster--ultimately freeing up talent and reducing the need for a big three.

After all, defense is a skill too and it should have as prominent place in the game as offense.
