I would say foul (non shooting) at 4 or under. At 7 there is still time to foul and get the length of the court for another possession by the opponent. So with no “it depends” choice in the poll I said foul only if not shooting – but in practice I would ask for three things. 1. force opponent to catch moving away from basket. 2. try to force a dribble or pass to use 2-3 seconds. 3. foul only if absolutely certain they are not able to make it a shot attempt. Key is to actually practice late game fouling so you can teach and correct in a controlled environment.
