Message: [QUOTE="PacoSwede, post: 4269323, member: 120"] i think i'm missing something: say, as in the above end of first overtime example, there are about 6 sec left and you lead by 3. foe has ball in their forecourt. only chance for them is a 3 or 4 point play, barring some freakish issue involving the clock or technical foul (refs would have a hell of a time living [B]that [/B]down!) why would you not deploy all 5 of your defensive players along (or beyond) the 3-point arch: any offensive player inside the arch is no threat at all if no one is there to foul them, and you have placed all your defensive players in territory from which a real 3 (or 4) point threat could be launched. seems to make sense, no? better than an intentional foul with attending variable risks?
