Please keep in mind that the ball was dead because of the common foul, not because I blew my whistle. What about the general rule that fouls during dead balls should be ignored unless they're flagrant, or intentional. No one in the gym had a problem understanding that a player's jersey being grabbed, when he is about to beat his man to the basket, especially during the last few minutes of a game, in which one team is trying to foul, was a simple intentional foul. So, if no one had a problem with this being called an intentional foul, how, according to the rules, can it be ignored?
