The rules are basically the same. Clemente's undetected foul, however, would not have been an intentional IMO. He fouled the dribbler across his arms in an "attempt" to reach for the ball. The reason, IMO, that it was not called are in order:
- The Trail was straight-lined and didn't see the contact
- The contact was marginal and did not hinder the ball-handler
