Theisey - if the intentional PI is enforced as a separate 15 yard penalty, it would seem to me that you have a "multiple foul" issue. Since it is enforced as two, 15 yard penalties, and both are presumably live ball, then doesn't it follow that the offended team would have a "choice" of penalties? I realize (what I just said) doesn't necessarily make sense in the context of this penalty, but NFHS 10-2-3 clearly indicates that "when two or more live-ball fouls are committed by the same team, only one penalty may be enforced..." It seems like this (intentional PI) should be an exception to 10-2-3.
Having said all that, the PI penalties (without the intentional part) are pretty severe already. Furthermore, if no one is enforcing the "intentional" PI, then why is it in the rulebook?

### It most certainly is an exception but I would not call this a multiple foul by the same team. The example by skybackjudge is a mutiple foul and I would think it would called DPI and a personal foul for throwing a punch (which results in an ejection). I don't think that can be called intentional PI.
Team A doesn't have any choice to think about. They accept the foul for DPI and they get the possibility of an additional 15 for free for the intentional portion of DPI.
Still one foul.
Now since no one I know has called this, how is it enforced?
In each, the call is intentional DPI.
(a) Pass is incomplete. enforce 15+15 from previous spot.
(b) Pass is complete but yardage gain is less than 15. Looks to me it will be take the 15+15 over the results of the play.
(c) Pass complete and yardage gain is greater than 15 but less than 30.
Now what? I have my own thoughts, but what do others think? I'll just say, I see nothing that says add the extra 15 to the end of the run.
(d) Basically (c) except the yardage gain is 30 or more yards. What do you do here?
