"I would hate to think that because it is the last seconds of a ball game that any foul away from the ball would automatically deemed intentional"
Huh??????????
What other purpose?intent does a foul away from the play/ball,
serve than to stop the clock,prevent an imbounds pass from being completed etc? Both of thoses meet the criteria for
calling an intentional foul. For me it's not hard to discern.
If you want to foul at the end of a game, foul the player with the ball.
