Can't yell Foul

[ChuckElias]

No, I'm not turning into an archivist, a la MTD, but I do happen to have the 2000-2001 rulebook, and intentional fouls are in the POEs. I won't type out the whole thing, but part of the paragraph states the following.

Acts that must be deemed intentional include:
. . .when coach/player says "watch, we're giong to foul"

So notice that this doesn't necessarily include a coach telling his player to foul. It specifically addresses the situation where the coach tells the official that they're going to foul to stop the clock.

I don't know if that makes a difference to the current discussion, but it's kind of interesting.
