well, in football you can decline a penalty, maybe the way to get rid of it is to be able to decline a foul! Seriously, the way to get rid of it is not allow fouls away from the ball other than loose ball fouls.

When Wilt Champberlain played in the league, Hack-A-Wilt never happened away from the ball. His team just wouldn't pass it to him unles he had a dunk ready. So, the rules must have been different back then, I don't remember. They did have an abolished rule involving intentional fouls. If you had fewer than the allotted 4 team fouls in the quarter, you could intentionally foul a player and he would get one free throw. They also had a "Three-to-make-two" clause. If you were shooting freethrows and the other team was over the limit, you got 3 chances if need be to make 2 freethrows. That's long gone too.


Cliff notes: Just learn to make your free throws and never worry about the hacking!

I dont see why the league should bail out players when teams exploit their deficiencies. If a team is slow, you run against them, if they are small you shoot over them if they cant make free throws...

Exactly. Next they'll take out 3's because one team is really good at making them.

Or a height limit of 7'1 cause not many teams have players taller than that

Bet you did not feel that way when the Lakers resorted to Hack a Bowen.
