I had a situation recently in a frosh boys game where I had to decide what kind of foul to call. B1 rebounded under A's basket, and A1 grabbed for the ball, fouling him. A1 then wrapped him up by the waist and tackled him.

My first thought was: foul for the hold, T for the tackle.

My second thought was: maybe that's just one foul, a flagrant personal.

In the end, (before I got to the table) I opted for one foul, an intentional personal for excessive contact. We shot 2 and B got the ball under A's basket (near the spot of the foul).

The A coach got his angel face on and asked, "Intentional? What did he do?" "Well, he tackled him, coach." "Oh."

In retrospect, I still think I got it right.
