I actually like the idea of a fouled player's choice. Why force people
to shoot foul shots when they are ahead.  Make the defense steal the
ball.

On the other issue, I have not seen the proposal.  But is this for a "no
charge zone?"  And what does that mean?  Are they just going to let Shaq
knock down anyone without having to worry about it at all?  Maybe I am
just too cynical.   But, I would like to know more about what the no
charge deal is.
