POLL Should the 3 to make 2 FT rule be brought back.

[UCFhonors]

I think we should absolutely do this to speed up the game and give bigs better chances at the line and to discourage fouls at the end of the game.

Summary from Reddit:
Here's some background on the rule:

Prior to the 1954-55 season, the NBA established the rule that a backcourt foul would result in a "three to make two" situation (up to three attempts to make two free throws) if the violating team was over the team foul limit. By 1979, the rule had been extended to the penalty situation for flagrant fouls, fouls made in the act of shooting (resulting in a miss), and fouls due to the swinging of the elbows. Prior to the 1981-82 season, this rule, as well as the related "two to make one" rule were abolished."

This thread has nothing to do with UCF's FT% the last 3 years, at all.

You are asking the impossible. One must be equipped for thinking in order to do so.

Or guys could just practice free throwing shooting more so they don't suck at it

I was thinking along those lines.

I don't remember the 3 to make 2 ever being a college rule.

I’d get rid of the 1 and 1. Kids should be able to knock down Free throws but they can’t. Those fouls are actually turnovers for the team getting fouled

Was not aware such a thing happened in the past.


The reviews over "hooking" as a F1 need to go away. Nobody cares some kid from Purdue got hurt. It's a waste of time and kills momentum.

You’re damn right about Purdue

Fuck those guys

Free throws are mid range shots and mid range shots are no longer a big part of the game IMHO. It seems to be shoot a three or take it to the hoop putting up a crazy athletic shot..with an occasional floating runner just for grins. (Guess the runner could be considered "mid range".)

And the college b-ball rules should be changed to the 3 to make 2.

Try to keep up. I'm already typing slower here than on Rivals.

Should everyone also get a trophy?

I think that if a shooter is fouled attempting to make a 3 point shot, he should get 2 shots if he makes the basket.
the 1 shot makes no sense.

Why doesn't it make sense? Why should a 3-pt shot potentially be worth 5?

why not especially if the foul occurs in the double bonus.

Well, you asked if it should be brought back. Since it wasn't a part of college basketball, they can't really bring it back. Asking somebody to keep up that would lose you in a phone booth is pretty funny....
