4-24. Bucky you did say a grab would be an intentional foul. You may have meant something else but it is there. Having said that, we all know that most fouls committed are done on purpose if you look at a dictionary definition. Defender putting two hands on defender all way to hole is not an accident. Player shoves another from behind to get a rebound. That's on purpose/intentional but we dont call it that.

Just because there's a grab doesn't mean there's an intentional foul. I know you know that. i think we should move on to something else.
