Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4271694, member: 11664"] Sometimes fouling is good, such as when it puts a poor foul shooter on the line. Not in every case but sometimes. UConn can end up gaining possession without any points being scored by the other team. Or maybe only 1 point will be scored instead of 2. Then the foul amounts to being almost equal to a defensive stop or a change of possession. Fouling isn't as much of a problem if a team has a deep bench with subs that have fouls to give. Part of the trick is to be willing to play your bench a little bit. By limiting some of the fouls on the starters, then they can play slightly more aggressive defense without worrying as much about fouling out after they re-enter the game. The game is supposed to be a chess match by using players strategically to create an advantage. [/QUOTE]
