We haven't even discussed the fact that, injury aside, the idea that the team that broke the rules (i.e. the offending team that fouled the player) is now in control of the selection of the shooter. That's even more ridiculous than the original rule allowing the coach of the team that was fouled to select the shooter. Neither is a great rule, but this is a step backwards rather than an improvement.
