'Going for the ball' doesn't mean that you have a license to mug someone. I call an intentional foul if I think it's there, particularly early to make sure the play doesn't get out of hand. I'm not looking for an IF, but I'll call it if I need to. And yes, coaches tend to think we shouldn't be so harsh on these types of situations.
Have you read those notes sent out in various updates that are sent to officials? One of them says that if the coach tells someone to foul an opponent, then it should be construed as an intentional foul. Yeah, right. Try calling that one and see how well it goes over.
