Rival GM: Rockets 'gaming the system' with foul-drawing tactics

The rest of the Association is sick of watching the Houston Rockets draw so many fouls on 3-point attempts.

Unhappy executives from other teams have asked the league to look into the issue, according to Bleacher Report's Ric Bucher, with one rival general manager complaining the Rockets are "gaming the system."

Kiki Vandeweghe, the NBA's vice president of basketball operations, said the topic will be discussed when the league's competition committee meets this July.

"We're going to continue to call things and look at things in the playoffs the same way we did in the regular season," Vandeweghe told Bucher. "This is certainly a priority but … these are complicated plays. They're best looked at in the offseason. We'll look at a lot of different clips and decide what should be done then."

One executive still isn't satisfied, claiming "the league has refused to take action" since January.

Rockets guards James Harden and Lou Williams were by far the best in the NBA at drawing fouls on 3-point attempts this season. Harden drew a foul 124 times, while Williams went to the line on 55 of his long-range attempts, according to SBNation's Kristian Winfield.

Unsurprisingly, Houston general manager Daryl Morey doesn't believe a rule change is necessary, saying the league could run into new problems if officials refuse to call a foul altogether.

"I actually don't think it needs a rule change because if you try to make it not a foul, I don't know how you don't create huge unintended consequences with people's arms being hit," Morey told Bucher. "You could hold your arm in front of a player and just not allow them to shoot. If you pull up to shoot and the guy hits your arm, I don't see any way that isn't a foul."
