NFHS POE for Intentional foul.
The committee continues to be concerned about how games end. While there has been some improvement in the application of the rule, there is still need for further understanding and enforcement. An intentional foul is a personal or technical foul that neutralizes an opponent's obvious advantageous position. Contact away from the ball or when not making a legitimate attempt to play the ball or player, specifically designed to stop or keep the clock from starting, shall be intentional. Intentional fouls may or may not be premeditated and are not based solely on the severity of the act. A foul also shall be ruled intentional if while playing the ball a player causes excessive contact with an opponent.
Above is the interpretation of NFHS of what an intentional foul is. If you are administering NFHS rules and you see it to be intentional, You can confer with your partner. Always pull him to the side and discuss it. If he still believe it to be different, then he live and dies by his call.
