Intentional Foul???
A1 steals pass in B's frontcourt and takes off towards her own basket. B3 is chasing her so A1 does the old jump stop/pump fake routine. As B3 is sailing past A1, B3 is looking back over her shoulder and kicks at the ball, catching A1 on the arm instead. Official blows whistle and calls a foul and indicates two shots...A's Coach is standing (in his box) waiting for the official to finish reporting foul and then asks why it is not an intentional foul. Official responds that the defender was making a play on the ball, to which the Coach says "How can she be making a play on the ball with her foot?"
Now official is thinking about it and is wondering if this should have been an intentional foul. So what do we think?
