Did you make the call?
Yes...you gussed it JR and the others who stated that the contact should be ruled intentional...at least that is exactly how I called it.
Thanks mick for the clarification on a "T" and a Flagrant foul...I was thinking those two would be brought up concerning this thread.
IMHO this intentional foul stuff has to be taken care of or we may be looking at a fight later in the game.
Some officials are reluctant to call this foul...but used right, it can be a very good officiating tool.
Having said that, I probably only had 1 or 2 intentional fouls all last season.
