Since two of the worst situations I have ever seen on a court took place in the last minute of close games, I make it a point to talk to the coaches before the game. Coach, you are aware that of the federation rules on intentional fouls at the end of the game. If I hear Foul, Foul, I will call it intentional.
The key to the situation is hear. The coach is telling his/her players to deliberately/intentionally brake the rule.
