Below is the NFHS definition of an intentional foul:
NFHS R4-S19-A3: An intentional foul is a personal or technical four designed to stop or keep the clock from starting, to neutralize an opponentÂ’s obvious advantageous position, contact away from the ball or when not playing the ball. IT MAY OR NOT BE PREMEDITATED and is not based on the severity of the act. A foul also shall be ruled intentional if while playing the all a player causes excessive contact with an opponent.
When Coach B tells B1 to foul an opponent and B1 immediately fouls A1, that foul is premeditated. And a premeditated foul is an intentional foul.
