If yes on either, what is the wording in the definition that allows this to be intentional?
I saw a play under NCAA rules where player A1 had secured a loose ball and player B1 was pressuring him.

A1 swings a vicious elbow and knocks B1 to the floor.

Officials called an intentional foul on A1.

q.e.d.
