Yeah, it's much too easy for teams that are behind to drag out a game by fouling repeatedly. It makes the end of many games a lot less enjoyable. And that problem is much worse in college hoops than it is in the NBA, because the percentage of poor free throw shooters is much higher in college. (The NBA had teams that tried to "Hack-A-Shaq" because he was usually the only poor free throw shooter his team had on the floor, whereas some college teams have only one good free throw shooter that you have to avoid fouling when you foul intentionally at the end of the game.)

Id prefer fouls in the last 2 minutes to be 1 free throw and possession of the ball. The end of basketball games have become a a 2 minute round of P-I-G. Its boring. A foul is a foul because a player did something against the rules. Its supposed to be a punishment. Essentially, todays game REWARDS fouling (breaking the rules) at the end of the game. Make it so the last minute foul-fest isnt so advantageous to the team fouling.
