Intentional Foul?

You need to get into the "degrees" because it might be flagrant. There are at least three choices -- nothing (in terms of a penalty), Intentional Technical and Flagrant Technical.

"Intentional procedure"-The player fouled shoots, ball out of bounds at the point of interruption.

"Technical procedure"-Two free throws for any member, ball out at division line.

You can use what ever verbiage you want, but just calling it "intentional" and not "intentional personal" is what leads to all the confusion.

I, myself know the degrees to which personal and technical fouls can be. I just thought it was easier to remember the procedures for the way I stated it for a new official.

Live ball contact=INTENTIONAL, Live ball anything else or dead ball anything=TECHNICAL. If either one are bad enough where you have to toss someone, add a FLAGRANT to the beginning. If not, then don't. Then follow the correct ways to penalize intentionals (personal or flagrant) and technicals .(personal, flagrant, administrative, bench, substitute, whatever)

You guys have been around longer and probably know more than me so I won't keep at it but this just seems so simple to me.

And MTD I'm not doubting you know the most important things to drill. But if I were training first year guys I would want them to know the most misunderstood basketball rules, how to handle coaches, and proper mechanics. Not just the signals, but where to be on the floor and when. But we come from different areas so maybe guys start with more of that knowledge where you are from, who knows.

There's no such thing as an intentional flagrant foul or a technical personal foul

Don't have my book on me. Flagrant personal, I'm not even sure? And that's why I said "whatever" in the list of technicals I was giving because I don't have a book to reference. Sorry I'm not defining the types of personal fouls and tecnhicals correctly. Obviously I need to refresh myself with the terms by looking in the book. But I assure you I know the procedures for when any type of foul happens on the floor.

Please tell me if I'm wrong on this original post; Player shoved during DEAD BALL. Technical foul, two shots by any team member on the floor. Ball out at division line. It was during a dead ball, so it's a technical, it's that simple to me.

You can continue to say I'm wrong, and that's fine. Maybe I am. Will someone please explain a case where I could go wrong in a game with the following logic:

Intentional: Live Ball Contact
Technical: Live Ball unsporting, dead ball anything.

Is there a case where I go by those basics that I would mess up during a game? Meaning I administer the penalties wrong. I would NEVER call live ball contact a technical, and I would NEVER call dead ball contact Intentional (personal or whatever).
