    Put the best defensive squad on the court during the Hack-a-Howard minutes to minimize scoring on the other end.

    4) Have Dwight do lariats (like Zangief) to keep opposition away.

    I was actually thinking about this the other day. The 3 players without the ball should form a triangle formation around Dwight.

    Yep, just have Jeremy, Chandler, and Terrence make a triangle around Dwight and let Harden do his thing!

    I was wondering the opposite: what is the maximum amount of Hack-a-Dwight a team could do? Say you started at the end of your bench and just fouled out about 5 guys, how much of the game could you spend doing that? A full quarter?

    This is about coming up with counter H-A-D strategies, please stop posting things like Dwight should make his FTs. Well no ****, but a more realistic way of countering it. Because let's be honest if after 10 yrs in the league Dwight's FT are not going to get any better.

    I understand what you're saying, but it still makes me chuckle that we're drawing up "strategy" to defend against getting a free throw. When you're to the point you don't want a free throw, man do you suck at them. lol.

    You clock one guy in the face and see how often this happens.

    Unlike a "box and one" defense, this is a "dork-in-the-box" offense. I'm for it.

    the real counter is practice with it on the real court.

    Those teams that implying hack-a-Dwight strategy so early is actually helping us, because it force Dwight into this problem everyday, and force him to practice it in the real game.

    Even Justin Bieber would get better if she practice enough.

    Put in your absolute best defensive team. What the hell

    If they aren't going to allow us to play offense then go JVG on their ass

    btw. This is a stupid idea. Just want to see who would SA this is a good idea

    This strategy really makes the game boring.

    Btw as far as rules go, I've posted this before... Which is what B-bob is saying

    The one and only rule change that I can think (which wouldn't interfere with all the other reasons you want to fouls the man without the ball) is to give special restrictions to a player who throws in the ball on an inbounds play

    Make it a rule the the person Inbounding the ball cannot be fouled until he enters the court. Currently inbounders cannot be fouled while they have the ball otherwise technical

    This just extends the rule to they can't be fouled ever until they enter the court

    BTW- they outlawed the running dunk once Wilt Chamberlin did it for a season.

    The simple answer is to make your FTs.
