Can you provide an example for #1?  I don't see that to be happening, and also, if a foul occurs with less than :14 on the shot clock, the shot clock reverts to :14, not :24
As for #2. it may not be logical with a 20-30 point lead (10 points is a different story) , but there's nothing unfair about it.
#3 is not true.
                                
                                
                                
                                
                                
                                
                                    NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

 Any three for me 
 Any four will score 
 Any five are live
