This is a regional mens rec game, so no video. You are right, it is a HTBT call. My question (from a rules point of view), is how much should we let game context come in to play on the intentional foul call.
This particular push would have been a common foul at any other point in the game. But because it was off ball in a strategic situation I chose to elevate it.
I am pretty sure my game awareness was much higher than the defender involved, and he may well have been clueless about the significance of the foul.
