BYU-Free throws and 3s

BYU is terrific at free throws, 3 pointers, and the most basic thing-layups. BYU is good because they do basics extremely well. SDSU has missed I believe 7 consecutive free throws that would've put the game away. Just sad and ugly basketball is being played in our conference. Keep it up Cougs

If I could change one thing about basketball it would be free throws (i.e. I would get rid of them somehow) also I would get rid of timeouts it adds such an artificial aspect to the game, I don't like it.

I wouldn't get rid of the free throws, just change things to get rid of the fouling for profit at the end of games and the slowing of the game. My rule would be one shot and the ball out of bounds unless fouled on a three point attempt. Then it would be two shots and the ball out of bounds.
