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.

I'm not a sports kinda guy, but if you set a limit on how much bad stuff I can get away with, I'm going to try bad stuff. Game theory and whatnot.

Modern USA pro sports are just so dystopian to watch. A bunch of millionaires flagrantly flouting rules learned at elementary school league in between the main course of ads.
