Not really. You just look at what was happening at the time of the foul, where the ball ends up, etc... Anyway we're discussing violations which are (usually) much more black & white.

Furthermore, the intent and the end result of the play may have nothing to do with each other.

No argument from me on that. Just be consistent.

errr....if it's from behind the 3 pt arc it's 3 pts. Otherwise it's 2 pts. No intent at all.
