karma baskets

yesterday my old man won his golf match and i had a great footrace in which i would have to say the concept of winning is a bit complicated, but still & all it was a good day for our personal athletic prowess so in return karma punished us by making UT and vandy both lose their basketball games in the SEC tournament. we agreed that we would rather win ourselves than have our teams win - because, you know, we get to make that type of decision.

i am now going to try to explain my thoughts on a particular facet of basketball so if you aren't into basketball, you are welcome to not let the door hit you on the way out.

in basketball first you have fouls to give b/c unless it's a shooting foul the other team just gets the ball. then after 7 fouls you go into the 1+1 which means if it's not a shooting foul, the other team gets to shoot two free throws but they have to make the first to get a chance at the second. then if you keep fouling after 10 fouls you get into the double bonus where for a non-shooting foul the other team gets two free throws and they get to shoot the second even if they miss the first. then that's it but sometimes towards the end of the game one team will start fouling in order to stop play and regain the ball, and there's no further consequence besides the double bonus so i propose the 2+1 and the triple bonus. the 2+1 would be like the 1+1 except you get to take the 2nd shot even if you miss the first one, but if you miss the 2nd you don't get to take the third. then the triple bonus is three free throws. the 2+1 could go in at like 14 fouls and the triple bonus at like 18.

i think this is a super idea but i don't know how to implement it. thanks in advance for taking care of the implementation for me. you're a doll.
