Well, I have to admit that the general tenor of this conversation has been that the intentional foul should be called when it is deserved. What I find interesting is that most of the people I talk to prefer to never call it, seeing anything that is done to stop the clock late in the game as legal, if it is short of flagrant, because that is one of the strategies in the game, and calling the Intentional negates that advantage caused by stopping the clock.
It is nice to see that some people agree with me in my interpretation! Thanks for the advice
