I deemed the foul to be intentional, not because B1 meant to hurt A1, but because he didn't make a legitimate attempt to play the ball, and he moved in after A1 took off. After coming home and re-reading 4-19-3, it seems like I applied the right concept, but maybe I'm looking through rose-colored glasses.

As I'm explaing to Coach B why I called it intentional (which he adamantly disagreed with), he let out a "Holy S#@%". So I T'd him for that.

Afterwards, my partner said he wouldn't have called intentional. I know the foul is sort of a HTBT situation, but I tried to explain it as best I could in words.

Thoughts?
I'm sure most of us will say we had to be there but to me it sounds like he tried to draw a charge but got there late. If that's the case, no intentional foul from me.
