I think this is a different rating altogether that BB should have, one rating for how much you get fouled and one rating for how much you foul.

I disagree. Driving helps but you can be fouled on numerous different ocassions. I already mentioned sopme of them, I can add clever pass to the open man under the basket (often after help defense on the other big man).

Well, you have every right to disagree. I suppose I would, for arguments sake, point out that a fast break is often finished with a drive and that a clever look to the open man under the basket is the result of a player driving the lane at least if not far more often than the other big man being doubled.

Totally agree with you about offensive rebounds.

The reason I brought it up in the first place was after looking at the stats for Lebron James, who was given legendray driving for the simulation. He draws all kinds of fouls ( when they can touch him ) as do Wade, Iverson, Bryant, Pierce, and a host of other perimeter players. I thought about what those players had in common and why they draw so many fouls and it came down to their ability to get to the basket off the dribble. Soooooo, I just think it's a bit of an oversimplification for such a complicated, sophisticated simulator to give inside tactics more FT opportunities.

I was just pointing out that not only driving. Driving is a good way to get calls. Disrupting of opponents defense is often done this way too. I generally agree.
