I immediately called an Intentional Foul. My partner(?) (15 yr experience know-it-all) questioned why I would've made it intentional.  I've been an official for 4 years and I am continually amazed by the attitudes of some of the old timers.

I wasn't there, but as I envision the play in my mind's eye I'd ask the same question. Are you sure B1 wasn't trying to draw a charge knowing that the worst that would happen would be a foul and a stopped clock?
