What's weird to me is - why do they only do it at the end of the game? So long as you spread the fouls out, it makes just as much sense to do it at the end of the half as well, and the end of quarters.

You do it at the end because losing by 15 is no worse than losing by 5. You don't do it at half time because being behind by 15 at half time is substantially worse than being behind by 5 at half time.

Probably because being in the penalty is bad

but not as bad in the 4th?

end of quarters maybe makes less sense because timeouts only refresh at the half

same goes for football too now that I'm thinking about it - why don't they do that clock stopping bullshit in the first half of football games if it's supposed to be good to do in the second half?

if doing it means you're going to be behind by 15 at the end, why do it at the end then? that logic doesn't seem to work to me

uh its cause you have 0% to win at all if you just let them dribble the shot clock out. you have some non zero % to win based on hwo bad the other team is at free throws slash luck. its not complicated

You are doing something that will probably end up with you losing by more to take the chance they will choke their free throws and you will be able to miraculously win.

It's not done because it's a secret hack to winning, free throws usually have a higher points per possession rate than normal baskets, it happens when you have no other option/no time to win the game and are hoping (usually vainly) for misses while getting some extra time for layups or threes
