OK, I'm only talking about one very specific situation here, and surprisingly it's
not the growing "hack-a-whoever" trend of teams fouling bad free-throw shooters on purpose. My guess is that issue is going to work itself out on its own when clubs eventually come to the conclusion that it doesn't actually help.
What I do think, however, is that
the NBA should enact a "decline the fast break foul" rule. It would apply to situations like the following, which I see occur fairly often--probably once every few games or so:
If you turn up the volume you can hear the whistle blow just
after Isaiah Thomas tipped the ball through the rim, so clearly it had no effect on the play. The basket obviously didn't count though, because the foul was called on Jae Crowder's layup attempt. Crowder then went to the free-throw line and missed one of his two shots.
Why shouldn't the Celtics be able to just decline the foul and take Isaiah's hoop instead?
I don't want this to be just a Twitter thing though, I think it's much bigger than that. It should be part of the entire system you have in place from your cable/internet provider.

But, I do like the idea of having a Go Plate for when you walk up to a table of food. I never know what to do with my drink in that situation and it's basically impossible to get everything you want to eat unless you set your beverage down somewhere.
