After thr Man City ref controversy today, i wondered why the nba doesn’t implement an “advantage” rule.
The NBA wanted to discourage fastbreak fouls with a take foul, but that still stops the fastbreak. Instead the refs should play advantage until the fastbreak is hindered by the foul and asses the take oul anyway after.
Also the goaltending rules can be a bit harsh for the defense, the backboard goaltending call should be erased, most of the time you don’t know if it even has a chance to go in.
