...college and pro games offer various reasons for refusing to foul when up three. Cal coach Ben Braun, who teeters between the two tactics, nervously rattles off the risks of fouling another player. What if an 18-year-old kid gets too amped up and really whacks a points guard, causing the ref to whistle an intentional foul, which gives the opponent both two foul shots and the ball back?
