in instances where I know a team is going to foul I make sure I mention to the team/coach to make a play on the ball -- in an event where its a lower level game and they go for the foul and its borderline intentional i remind them that if that happens again it will be. never had a problem and I have called several intentionals in this instance for grabbing jersey, shove in the back type of stuff. only a couple coaches complained and moaned but there is no real argument there -- especially after i mentioned to make a play on the ball.

but for the first foul i am a bit more lenient with the intentional -- it all depends on the severity and what the kid did to get the foul.
