Wanted to hear about everybody's comments and opinions on the intentional foul in the Georgia NCAA tournament game, not too long ago. Also, there is an article talking about this on officiating.com talking about the game.
I for one, thought there was a chuck/impede across the lane on the defensive player. The play was allowed to "play through" for whatever reason and as a result, the defensive player pushed him across the floor and into the bench. At this point, the foul escalated into an intentional foul, when it was called. I believe if the calling official, would have called the off ball chucking/impeding in the lane area as the offensive player is attempting to cut to the ball, this whole intentional foul scenario could have been avoided.
Any thoughts?
