The key here to me is the fact this isn't any player with ball control driving to the basket. This is a dead ball holding foul where the defender is apparently attempting to deny the offensive player from getting open to receive a pass.
In my interpretation of the rules, as they are written, this is NOT the intended situation of when to call an intentional foul. If this was the case, then JR, every off-the-ball holding foul call should be an intentional foul.
Btw, if officials never questioned each other, would any of us get any better?
