That's a great topic, Mark. I believe that many coaches, players, and fans equate an intentional foul with a dirty play or excessively hard contact. I believe that they thikn this way because the penalty is identical, unless you reach the flagrant category. I'd say at least half the time, you will get a bad reaction when crossing the arms above your head, and no explanation or context will suffice. I wish more people would understand that if is not a basketball play based on outskilling your opponent, it is essentially an intentional foul.
