From now on, I will also be certain to enforce the following from the current season's POE on intentional fouls:
"A. Anytime in the game. Acts that neutralize an opponent�s obvious advantageous position and must be deemed intentional include:...
� Grabbing and holding a player from behind or away from the ball
These are �non-basketball� plays and must be considered intentional fouls anytime they occur during a game."

If "basketball sense" is not applied to this situation, the "literal, book-smart" officials could "justify" calling an intentional foul on a players that "box out" an opponent by extenting their arms behind.
