Foul Assignment (Basic)

I haven't played the Basic game in ages, but I just started a project where I am playing the 2000 Lakers vs. the 1996 Bulls in three seven game series'; one series using the Basic game rules, one series using the Advanced game rules, and finally a series using my Super-Advanced+ rules.

I'm currently playing the Basic game series (tied at 2 games apiece at the moment), and I'm already seeing situations were Advanced or Super-Advanced game rules, with a little retooling, would work well in the Basic game.

The first thing that I found lacking in the Basic game is in the area of foul assignment. In the Basic game, all fouls are assigned to the primary defender, or in the case of a double-team, all fouls are assigned to the double-teaming player. Not very realistic, but easily fixed. Here is what I will use in my Basic game play going forward:

Basic Game Foul Assignment
Whenever a foul result occurs from a player's shooting column, roll a single white die and assign the foul as follows:

If the die roll is a 1 or 2, then assign the foul to the primary defender if the shooter was not being double-teamed, and to the double-teaming player is the shooter was being double-teamed. If the die roll is a 3-6, then roll the white die again and assign the foul as follows, according to the result of the second die roll: 

1 - Right Guard
2 - Left Guard
3 - Right Forward
4 - Left Forward
5 - Center
6 - Primary defender or double-teaming defender.

Using this rule will assign fouls, from a player's shooting column, to the primary defender/double-teaming player approximately 55% of the time, which is pretty close to the percentage from the Super-Advanced game's Foul Assignment Chart.

For the sake of brevity and clarity, I wrote the rule with an initial die roll, and then a second die roll if the foul isn't assigned from the first die roll. In practice though, what I will be doing is rolling both white dice together and reading the die that comes to rest on the left as the initial die roll, and reading the die that comes to rest on the right as the second die roll, if necessary; eliminating the need for a second, single, die roll.
