Here is another example and maybe the best one yet. In Israel NT game with 5:52 left in the 2nd Q Scweitz PG J. Chabernaud picked up his 5th foul. Israels 2 point guards at that point had a combined 4 points on 1-4 shooting as their PG played 15 of the first 18 minutes. He then played an incredible game from that point on as he played in 23 of the last 30 minutes without fouling again and holding his oppenets to 1-13 from the field.

I find it very difficult to believe that at a NT level you cant make a defender pay for being in foul trouble. Either his opponents should have shot a better and taken a few more shots with his defender struggling not to foul out or at some point he should have been called for his 6th and final foul.

This is one of the things that bothers me the most in this game as teams that play the tactic let them play have an advantage as i find it hard to generally take advantage of a player who is in foul trouble.

I don't know why i am getting such little feed back but would love to hear what others think about this as well.

what do you want to hear? that i was watching the game and was waiting to see when he will foul out? and if i remamber correct 2 of Israel player wear eventualy out in 6 fouls?

i think it is redicules some times but i can tell you that i have sean more then once players who fould out faster then the speed of lightling (my own personal record is 8 minuts on the court)

i have another problem thou concerning fouls more directly offensive fouls as of the last few games i find myself cursing the game after 4-5 offensive fouls from my own team players i was just wondering if any one think or dose know why some players tend to do alot of offensive fouls?

its not about him fouling out or not. Its the fact that his defense does not get any worse from that point on. In real life he would be on the bench. Lets forget about that for a sec. The player in foul trouble does not want to foul out so they reach abit less and the contest shots less and they are not in your face when your going to the basket. Which should mean that the opposing player should have better looks during the game which does not look like it happened n this game or allot of other games i have watched over the seasons.
