I've had one intentional foul call so far in my short basketball career.
It was during a relatively well played 8th grade boys game near the end of the third quarter. A visiting team player gets a hold of the ball out of a scrum in the home team's backcourt and has a fast break to an uncontested layup. As he goes up for his lay up, a defensive player comes leaping in from behind and tries to take a weak swipe at the ball while going completely through the offensive player. It was a pretty easy call for me actually. The home team coach nearly had a coronary event when I reported the foul as if this was somehow a surprise to him.
