Common Foul ...
SITUATION 5: At half time, Team A is leading the game. A1, A2 and A3 are passing the ball among themselves to run time off the clock while not allowing Team B to gain control of the ball. B1 goes out and pushes A1 to stop the clock. The official calls a personal foul. RULING: Incorrect call. The foul was deliberate and should have been called an intentional foul. A1 should shoot two free throws and Team A should be awarded the ball for a throw-in at the spot nearest the foul. (4-19-3c)
A personal foul is the correct call, more specifically, an intentional personal foul. At worst, this is an incomplete answer, not an incorrect answer.
There are only two major classifications of fouls, personal, or technical. It certainly wasn't an intentional technical foul. There was contact, while the ball was live, and the clock was running. There is no third choice, unless "no foul" is a third choice.
A "better" incorrect situation would have stated, "The official calls a common foul." Now that's certainly an incorrect answer, not just an incomplete answer, but just dead wrong.
