It's a game of free throws. Free throws certainly aren't "chance,"

but they sure wouldn't be the best way to decide a basketball game if the game was still tied after OT.

Penalty shootouts are exciting to watch, though.

Penalty kicks seems like a stupid way to end a soccer game.

Imagine a 1 on 1 battle.

It would be over very quickly

It would never get there but I'd probably cap it at 5 v 5.

Indoor soccer penalty kicks are like this. Not just one kick, but allowed to

You'd probably have to allow unlimited substitutions. Otherwise

Wrong, nothing could be worse than PKs

Maybe like 1 every other extra period or something

I disagree that it is just a game of chance.

I agree that's it entertaining but to me it's still a game of chance

I agree that it's not a game of chance, but it's also not a game of soccer it's

But a basketball game allows you to substitute more freely, and

At the rate of scoring in soccer. There could be 12 hour soccer games with them.

I don't mind. Teams have proven equal physically. Let's who's mentally stronger.

I'd love to see FT shooting contest in OT in the NBA.

I think you'd have to do it after OT. Even in soccer the OT is still played.

I agree to an extent, but don't think there's another alternative.

Maybe they just need to move it back a bit.

I like it.

Maybe they should have something like the football extra point after a goal.

How about eliminate the offsides penalty and play sudden death?
