The Solution to the cheap ass "Hack-a-Shaq"

[Princess Pimp]

When Popazit copied this cheap ass tactic from Don Nelson by fouling worthless free throw shooters like Bowen, his credibility as a coach went to the ground.

A solution that the league should look at:

When you get "the hack a whoever player" the team should shoot a free throw by any player and possesion of the ball.

These will eliminate this cheap tactic by loser coaches and players, Shaq is old and slow I don't know why crater face fear him so much!!!

[Ronaldo McDonald]

If a guy can't shoot, give him a lot of room to shoot the ball. If a defender is skinny and/or small in the post, send a big in there to muscle his way to the basket. If a defender is too slow, get a quick guy to score on him. If a guy is complete shit at shooting freethrows (because he's too fat and lazy to put in the extra time), foul him and let him go to the line. Obviously, the idea is to gain an unfair advantage on the opponent, and that's what your supposed to do in sports if you want to win.

If you don't like it, tough luck.

[MajicMan]

The solution is Shaw should make his free throws.

MAKE YOUR SHOTS

[Sausage]

Stop complaining accept your loss and go back to that shithole you call Phoenix.

[ancestron]

What the fuck is the big fucking deal with hack-a-shaq. Its called "strategy" or for morons like you, "strategery".
Its like an intentional walk in baseball, or numerous other comparisons one could surmise from other sports where loopholes in the rules can be exploited for the benefit of the offense. Fuck.

You should forward this to Stern right away. And they mentioned this on the TNT broadcast the other day, Im sure everyone who watched the game heard it just fine. And until they change it Shaq should keep practicing the FREE throws.

free throws are free

[FromWayDowntown]

Didn't Mike Dunleavy come up with Hack-a-Shaq in 2000? Or was he copying someone else?

[sa_butta]

free throws are free
Not for Shaq, he just kind of pushes the ball toward the basket and hopes for the best.

In the late 1990's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990%27s), however, Don Nelson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Nelson) theorized that if an especially bad free throw shooter were targeted every time, then intentionally fouling him repeatedly might actually yield fewer points per possession for his team than would playing a typical defense against them.
Since Nelson would be employing the strategy even in the absence of any late-game need to stop the clock, he would be free to use it with greater than two minutes left to play. Thus, the off-the-ball foul rule would not apply. So Nelson's innovation was not the creation of the strategy. Rather, his innovation was to take a strategy whose primary purpose had always been simply stopping the clock, and employ that strategy in an entirely different fashion: with a primary purpose of minimizing the opposition's scoring.

What happened to that "Suns will sweep the crap out of the Spurs" drivel you were spouting?

What happened?

I'm going to keep asking this until you respond.

He, like many others who've come and gone, never nut up and respond.

Agreed. And it's not like Pop or Don Nelson invented intentional fouling.

I totally agree with you.
I see no difference between any of these and hack-a-shaq
Is it cheap to foul on purpouse with 15s left if you are loosing by 1 hoping for a miss?

I know. I find it humorous that he wastes so much of his life trolling.

[DarrinS]

It's only an effective tactic against head coaches that panic and yank the hack-ee.

I don't care if its cheap or not, does it work? if so, kick Shaq's balls:blah

Solution should be when the Spurs start doing it, Shaq carries Steve Nash down the court and puts him in between him and the Spurs player that's trying to foul him.

poor Shaq. i feel so sorry for him that the mean old Spurs are taking advantage of his free-throw shooting "skills". someone needs to protect him. the league needs to protect him. poor little shaq.

[ChumpDumper]

My Rockets are losing.

[SPARKY]

Louis you pathetic bitch. At least you gave up on WebTV.

[demosthenes247]

Oh, come on. Seriously, how hard is it to make free throws? 15 years in the NBA and Shaq still can't make better than 50% Nothing wrong with exploiting your opponent's weaknesses.

[Strike]

He's been shooting free throws the same way with the same hands at the same height for how long? :bang

Mix in a little practice time at the line. Or, maybe, change your shot. Or maybe put a little ARCH in your shot and it won't ricochet off the back of the rim like a freaking bullet!

The way I see it is if he has a weakness that we can exploit, EXPLOIT THE HOLY HELL OUT OF IT!!! If he wants to bitch about it, that's his fat ass problem. :cry

That fat piece of shit can sit and spin.

I like your idea, but I would take it a step further. I think that every time a player is fouled, he should just be awarded 2 points, without having to shoot any free throws at all. That would really even things up, so that the people who can actually put the little ball through the ring would be no more valuable than the dumb-shits who can't.

After all... why should a player who can shoot be rewarded in the sport of basketball?
