    Bingo!!!!!!!!!!! More hard fouls, nothing easy in the paint= more free throws for the opposing team. I wonder how many free throw the Jazz give up?

    It makes sense. If Morey thinks of the opponent shooting free throws as the worst possible result, then it makes sense that the team would a) not foul much and b) foul crappy free throw shooters (such as centers and such).

    the answer is obvious. we foul more bigs than perimeter players. part of that had to do with Rafer being a good perimeter defender who never fouled.
