Despite Jurassic's indignation, this is essentially true. If you make a play at the ball, then the foul will be called common; even when everyone knows it was done to stop the clock.
If you grab the player, or push (especially from behind), without even
trying for the ball, then it's much more likely to be intentional.
I'm not sure why that particular comment provoked JR's ire.
