Jurassic,

The idea for new names is because players and coaches, contrary to popular belief , don't really read the rule book() so they don't know what NFHS says an intentional foul is. They think (and adamantly at that) that an intentional foul must have some sort of 'intent.'

The rule says excessive contact without intent to foul can also be deemed intentional. This past sentence is self-contradicting in many of the posters eyes, so that is the reason for bringing up new terminology to lighten the confusion.

BTW, I like all the ideas, but I think just explaining to the coach each time why its intentional will suffice until I am told to do otherwise.
