"Holding a player's jersey is just holding and is just a regular foul."

Had this in a boys high school varsity scrimmage Saturday. A1 has a throwin under his own basket. I'm the administering official and hand the ball to A1. Team A players begin to set screens to get open. B1 grabs A2 by the jersey and holds on tight. Ball has not yet been thrown in. I sound my whistle and call an intentional foul on B1. Team B coach has a cow. "That's not an intentional foul. My player was just holding his opponent. Holding a player's jersey is just holding and is just a regular foul."

Hopefully the coach will read the article.
