Look That Up In Your Funk & Wagnalls ...

While I like the NFHS term "Intentional", I fully agree with JRutledge.

An NFHS Intentional Foul is what it is, as defined in NFHS Rule 4.

An intentional foul is a personal or technical foul that may or may
not be premeditated and is not based solely on the severity of the act. Intentional
fouls include, but are not limited to:
a. Contact that neutralizes an opponent's obvious advantageous position.
b. Contact away from the ball with an opponent who is clearly not involved
with a play.
c. Contact that is not a legitimate attempt to play the ball/player specifically
designed to stop the clock or keep it from starting.
d. Excessive contact with an opponent while playing the ball.
e. Contact with a thrower-in as in 9-2-10 Penalty 4.


Not the same as an intentional foul as defined in your Funk & Wagnalls.
