I've wondered about the "intentional" PI as well. Although it may never have been applied, Snake eyes brings up an interesting point - is it one 30 yard penalty or 2, 15 yarders? For example, if the enforcement spot (on def. PI) is B's 30, two 15 yarders get you to B's 7 1/2 (the first one to the 15 and then half the distance on the second). One 30 yarder is automatically a half the distance issue - or only to the 15; so yes, it theoretically would make a difference. The same could apply to A for offensive PI at A's 30.
I can only imagine the look on the coach's face when you try to enforce a 30 yarder on his team.
