Intentional Foul to Stop Clock

[Peter Devana]

Hi Everyone,
We have been told that all officials must call the intentional foul anytime the defence does'nt make a legitimate attempt to play the ball- every one accepts this; however, there are still many out there at even the highest levels who in big games bail out on this call and call the 1+1 commen foul. What are your thoughts on this and how are your association's handling it - right now it looks pretty inconsistent all over the world and really creates confusion to the coaches, players and fans. If we all were strong and called it right the problem would go away!
