NF/NCAA should recognize that the rule doesn't prevent the intentional foul, it merely forces us coaches and players to disguise it as a real foul, making the situation more dangerous. I would rather you allow the safe intentional than force the potentially rough "attempt at the ball" foul, knowing that the foul will happen either way.

The downside to that idea is more free throws / longer games. There is always the intentional foul rule that states "fouls of a savage nature". [/B][/QUOTE]
I don't see anything anywhere that requires an intentional foul to be of a savage nature - that would qualify as flagrant. Can you please tell me what rule source you are quoting in that last statement?
