You have a way of stating the obvious; then acting like others didn't know that.
Once again, the point flew right over your pea sized brain. I do give you credit. It must be hard to operate a phone or computer with four feet.
Of course teams that are behind sometimes foul to stop the clock near the end; if they fail to force a turnover.
I simply would not call this "defaulting to" fouling. I don't think the idiom works. In a contemporary sense, the default is the usual, ordinary, preset, normal, automatic option.
Fouling is not that. It is an alternative, desperation measure a team resorts to only after the default defense and all other options have failed. Kind of like unplugging the computer and rebooting.
I really don't give a shit what you would call it.
Here's the thing: Your gig is to find some kernel of truth. Then you try to put some spin on it to try to sound like you know what you're talking about. But you don't. A primary defense is not the same as a default defense, no matter how much you insist it is. You sound like a complete, blithering idiot when you keep trying to make those things the same.
I like how you prove this concept true immediately. First you say the thing about fouling is obvious, but then you feel the need to re-explain it. I think the problem is you really don't grasp much, so you feel better when you explain it to yourself, in the hopes you will understand it. To make yourself feel better, you add some dumb jargon or useless phrasing or try to create some alternate meaning as you do so. Likely this is why you have been locked in the flushing-toilet-like spiral of useless posting that you have been in for years.
You really contribute nothing, other than a waste of typing and words. So if your dumbass jargon is different from what someone else would say, the chances are high that the other person is right. The sooner you realize that, the better. Think about it. How many other people go back and alter one piece of a post, as you do, and then try to claim that you were correct to start with? I assume it's pretty much just you.
Finally, your belief that teams have some sort of "default" defense to begin with shows that you don't have much of a clue. Teams might have a PRIMARY defense that they plan to play, but (1) that's not "default"; (2) any Division I coach who simply goes with one plan regardless of the situation or the opponent probably isn't going to do well for long without some really good players across the board.
