Two years ago, when the point of emphasis was stressed regarding the intentional foul situation, we here in Wisconsin were told that if you hear the coach yelling to foul them, and they do, you give them the intention foul. At the same time, there must be some discretion used. It is very easy to explain that the player was instructed to foul the opponent, and therefore is the equivalent of being an intentional foul.
I think there would be some judgement involved, if you think the foul had no relation to the coach yelling.
