A lotta things about pushout are rediculous.
Plenty of things about '1 foul / texas express ' are ridiculous !
I'l leave it there. We've had this talk many times before.
ps
The reason nobody I saw play 2 consecutive fouls by the same player
was that there have always been 'nits' in pool rooms. You would 'push' and they would 'push' back ! That could go on forever ! To combat that, you played '2 consecutive fouls
on the table' . That took the 'nitty' part out of the game.
I spent 8+ years at Beenies in Arlington and saw 99%+ pushout games played
that way.
Pushout forever
