What brings you to call it intentional? Does V1 make it look like he is trying to interfere with the shot and got there too late causing contact or is he positioning for a box out and it looked worse than it was? I know you used the term undercutting but just want to clarify the seriousness of what you had seen.

I see this happen and call a foul but cannot recall if I have been inclined to go with the intentional aspect unless the "butt-butting" was more than a box out position.

Am I missing some particular rule or POE for an airborne shooter or something?

By the way, this is a great example of making a tough call and being confident in your whistle, good job Mark.

Undercutting is going under an airborne player with the sole purpose of causing injury. Depending upon the severity, it can be either intentional or flagrant.
