A foul should be ruled intentional if while playing the ball a player causes excessive contact with an opponant. Obviously, in your mind the foul was excessive thus your arms crossed over your head. Our first instincts are usually correct. Don't beat yourself up over this call. We as officials are usually lax in calling int. fouls according to the rules.
At least you didn't "cost the team the game" like I did the other night. That was the first time a coach accused me of that. Of course the one call that fouled out his post player with a minute left cost him the game. He must have forgotten about the 30 turnovers, 25 missed shots, etc.
