Drake is absolutely right.
Intentional Fouls are fouls away from the play. Look at the NF rules and I'm sure you will see this.
The purpose behind this rule is to stop a player from fouling the worst free-throw shooter (aka something like Shaq) while the guard has the ball or the big guy is completely out of the play. Of course determining if the foul is away from the play is all judgement.
How many times in a NF game is a person passing the ball, the ball is away and a team wants to stop the clock so they lunge at the guy who has thrown the ball to the opposite side of the court... Getting way close if not an intentional
