I think thats a lazy excuse...and the players and coaches would be at fault for ruining the game by Embiid and Davis fouling each instead of going at each other to try and score. Your suggestion makes it sound like players would just foul Jokic instead of trying to defend him...like Hack-a-Shaq would take over the NBA or something.
Increase Free Throws per foul(that is reviewable - please dont say the game will be slowed down) and then have missed game/s for frequent abusers of fouling.
That is way better than star players being taken out of games early. Anything is better than star players being taken out of game early or late in games.
Have a tier system with harsher impact in 4th quarter on teams that foul a lot. Anything is better than stars/key players being taken out of the game in the first half of basketball games.
I think my local rec center and just about everywhere I have played the players self govern themselves well.
