Case Book play 4.19.3 Situation C

"Team A leads by three points with four seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Team A is to throw-in from a spot out of bounds on the end line. Players begin jockeying for positions just after the official has handed the ball to A1. B1, while trying to deny a pass from A1 to A2: (a) grabs A2's arm, or (b) pushes A2 from behind. RULING: In (a) and (b), it is an intentional personal foul designed to keep the clock from starting or to neutralize an opponent's obvious advantageout position."

Okay, so we know what we're supposed to call. Is this another one of those rulings that gets re-interpreted at game time?

irapalmer3:

Those are examples of intentional personal fouls regardless of the time remaining. But in the midd-70's there was a rule that if what would normally be a common foul is committed under a certain defined situation, the personal foul was to be considered an intentional personal foul. Just give me a chance to get up into the attic this morning and I will try to have an answer for you this afternoon.
