Do away with the five minutes it takes to shoot a foul shot. First five fouls, give other team 1 point and the ball out of bounds. After 5 fouls, give 2 points and the ball. After a player gets 5 fouls he is ejected.
Sounds legit, I say go for it.
All the time it takes screwing around at the free throw line is something else that takes the rhythm out of a basketball game.

^^^Or only shoot free throws in the last 2 minutes of the game. You'd get the same late-game effect without all of the stoppages in action and lapses in the game. Theoretically, free throws make the sport more difficult to watch and make people more likely to change the channel.
