"The catcher either moves for the ball or he doesn't. If he doesn't move, it is intentional, period.
"
Spoken by someone who has spent very little time working with the teen aged mind. Not moving is in no way the same thing as intentional. Intentional means, beleive it or not, "with intent". Not moving MIGHT be intentional, but it might also be forgetful, brain dead, zoning out, not concentrating, let the mind wander, or a myriad of other ways of saying, "being a teenager". I coach a high school football team. Kids make dozens of mistakes in a game. Almost of none of them are "intentional", kids forget assignments, miss assignments, get confused about what they are supposed to do so they do nothing.
Good grief, I have seen adults do the same thing driving a car. They aren't sure what to do in a situation, so they do nothing.
Equating not moving with "intentional" is certainly being out of touch with reality.
