I guess somebody has decided to change the rules. I thought an intentional foul was to stop the clock by intentionally fouling an opponent without going for the ball to stop the game clock to give a possible advantage to your team by keeping time on the clock. What I copied above is the definition of a flagrant foul not an intentional foul.
Oden's foul is the classic example of an intentional foul and should have been called by any "good" official PERIOD!
Xavier got screwed!
