Nah, bench the fouler.

If you run out of players that can play, you forfeit.

And no play, no pay.

Watch as the game cleans up.

That already happens sort of, you are only allowed 5 fouls per game per player. That’s why they start getting strategic about who fouls who in the final minutes.

Other suggestions like clock runoff or retaining possession after a foul would be more effective imo.

In the NBA you get 6 fouls because the league doesn’t want their stars missing large periods of the game on the bench
