I read the 1st page here and couldn't be bothered after that because it seemed everybody hated the proposal (which I do too).
How about they go back to the old international system. In the act of shooting is still 2 shots (or 3 depending on the shot being taken); however, when it is a foul not in the act of shooting but over the quarter foul limit, it's a 1 on 1 free throw. So they get 1 free throw, if they make it, they then get a 2nd. If not, play continues. With the poor free throw shooting in basketball these days, this would reduce 3-4 free throws per game I would think.
