I would increase the penalty to 7 fouls before the bonus. Those extra 2 fouls can come in handy and defenses could afford to be a little more aggressive without fear of picking up a cheap foul. At the bare minimum, this would be the easiest way to try to help defenses contain offenses in today's game without having to change up the rules. The NBA tried to limit scoring by changing the way the game is officiated but that can be a slippery slope because it would still depend on what refs are calling the game and their own interpretation.
