Yes, you did. If you know a team is trying to foul at the end of a game, call it when they make the first attempt. Even if they swat at him and miss, call the foul. If you don't, they're just going to foul harder and someone will get hurt. In a situation like this, we will tell the players, "Guys, we know you're going to foul to stop the clock. We're going to call it when we see it, so don't hurt anyone."

Game management.
I agree, Tony,....
But I called that foul once, not even an intentional, cuz I thought the defender made a good attempt, and I got a new orifice.
Ya just never know.
