I like tio and mu4Scott's thought process but I would like for us all to refine or come together as a group and redefine "game management". This OP us not a game management foul. Rarely, if ever, should we call fouls as a game management tools. One of those rare sitches involves sending a shooter to the ft line on a marginal contact play in a 20+ point ball game with under 2 min left. Game mgmt should encompass "running the game" by knowing the score, team fouls, when the penalty is coming up, taking care of subs, knowing the clock status, approaching and addressing coaches in a professional manner, etc. This is game management. We must strive to get plays correct.
This play is an offensive foul. While I don't agree with an intentional foul here. I am going to be more aware of both the players involved in the play for the next coming min. This is also part of good game mgmt (knowing when the intensity changes and levels of anger b/w players has risen)
