Question

To follow up on Kelvin's thread ....Actually this leads top a great situational question.

Many times the end of the game situation warrants one team to intentionally try to foul to force clock stoppage or FT's. Usually this results in a simple two hand hold or some type of push. In every case, we know this to be an intentional act but do we call it intentional?

To help teach our newer officials...
[list][*]What are your thoughts about severity of contact in avoiding the "X" and calling a common push, hold, etc.?[*]Do you consider any other factors (i.e. margin of difference in score, time left on clock, chirpy coach asking for "X")?[*]Do you touch on this topic in your pre-game with your partners?[*]Do you have a consitent philosophy in this situation that coaches come to rely upon?
