RE Salem State - we go 12 deep (I think Marconi was hurt when we played so only 11 for that game) - and I was going uptempo to try to force foul problems FWIW.

Here is a thought kind of running on the old beliefs that make them still viable. If you have a deeper team, deep enough that some of your backups could be decent starters, then uptempo would still be viable, because while you might be getting tired quicker, you're bringing in an acceptable replacement.

Can anyone validate this?

Also, on the idea of trying to create fouls, I would only consider uptempo if you have a significant advantage athletically or through stamina.

Again, could anyone validate if this sounds appropriate?
