    What do you think about changing fouls on made shots inside the 3 pt line to an And 2.
    Point plus 2 shots at the foul line.

    Encourage more going to the basket
    (Keep the 3 ptr made plus 1 shot)

    I would be for Coaching Challenges won + 2 points.

    How about that? I know Sengün and Udoka would lose a lot.

    Sounds like the single biggest incentive for flopping that I can imagine. Whole 4th quarters would be in the hands of referees trying to determine, after each play ends in a tangle of limbs:
    * Was that a flop? Waive off made basket, assess tech against offensive player for flopping, and award defending team with possession after they get a FT.
    * Was that a made basket plus a foul? Possible four-point play.

    Every trip down the floor would have 5-point swings at stake.

    Seems insane to me, TBH. Would make the NBA even harder to watch in games that matter, and even in games that do not matter, as players try to get 4-pt plays to help their advanced stats, LOL.

    Naw

    End offensive players initiating contact as fouls. That would do a lot for the game.

    No. Anytime you put more value to the foul, you put more power to the officiating to determine the game outcome, which is already too much.

    The question at hand seems to be . . . how do you stop teams from SPAMMING 3s
    Since people don't think that is entertaining

    Limiting the number of 3s seems . . . Illogical
    IMO moving the line won't stop anything except maybe the Corner Three
    Everyone shooting Dame/Steph rainbows won't be better

    I think Flopping should reduced but
    Honestly . . . something are not flops.
    The reason the Rockets don't have a championship
    is because alot of Legit missed foul calls. . . .
    Blame Flopping for making Refs swallow their whistles
    but I blame Refs for not doing their f*cking jobs
    and yes. . . bias

    That said. . . . You run into the lane haphazard without a chance at shot
    the Refs don't bail you out
    I agree with the Offense initiating the contact should be an offensive foul

    I'm talking about slapping hands, wrists and forearms.
    I'm taking about defense initiated body bumps
    esp to impede movement
