intentional foul
---------------------------------------------------------
The ball is inbounded by Team B and the Team A coach yells foul! foul! and of course Team A fouls Team B. The foul was not a "wrapping" or "grabbing" or "shoving" or "holding" foul, but an honest attempt at the ball and in no way was the foul either aggressive or excessive.
------------------------------------------------------------
Let me say first of all that I think you made the right call. But let me throw this out for your thoughts.
The problem is with the coach yelling "FOUL, FOUL".
If a player comes up to me after a time out and says, "Ref, I'm gonna foul #23", and then he/she fouls #23, I think that would constitute an intentional foul since the player announced that he/she INTENDED to commit the foul. In the same way the coach was announcing that he intended for his team to commit the foul.
