When to foul in basketball when up by three points
In a basketball game when a team is up by three points with little time left, it is advised to foul the opposing team before they attempt a potential game-tying three-pointer. The foul should occur strategically on the downward dribble to prevent the opponent from getting a good shot off. Coaches and players often hesitate to foul in this situation due to lack of practice or fear of sending the opponent to the free-throw line, but it is generally recommended to foul in such scenarios to secure the win.
