Mick,
Since we have a dead ball, you could call a "T", but it's also possible to call an intentional foul here.
I had a play acouple of years ago with less than :10 in the game where Team A lined up in a straight line for a throw in, the thrower in got the ball from the official, and as the guard broke towards the basket, he was grabbed (jersey stretched) from behind by the
defender. I called the intentional foul. The coach of B didn't like it, but what other purpose was the defender achieving other than fouling to prevent an easy layup by Team A? Obviously you need to make the determination
as to intentional or not. In this game A was only up by a couple of points so it was not a popular call with Team B. but oh well. In my view it was the right call.
Sometimes, you also have to weigh the severity of the penalty
when deciding what to assess.
Example. The NBA has an elbow foul that is two free throws and play off the second whether made or missed.
That is for an elbow foul below the shoulder level.
IF above, it CAN be an ejection, but the penalty is still only two shots! Most of the time if there is an elbow to the head, a flagrant foul is called. Two shots, PLUS possession to the offended team.
In your case, if being played under NF rules, the penalty for intentional and technical are the same so it's all up to you. Now, the player who fouled may already have a "T" which could now lead to an ejection. So that's another thing to consider.
Boy , I'm rambling.
If I'm off base with what you're looking for, let me know.
