JR,
I remember this, but I don't have my Rules Book from 2000-01. Wish I had kept it. Could you please post exactly what that POE says about the coach yelling to foul the opponents?
Thanks. [/B][/QUOTE]
POE 5 INTENTIONAL FOULS- EXCESSIVE CONTACT
An intentional foul has occurred when a team is obviously committing a foul, late in the game, to stop the clock and force the opponents into a throw-in or free throw situation.
Acts that must be deemed intentional include:
- grabbing a player from behind
- wrapping the arms around a player
- grabbing a player away from the ball
- grabbing or shoving a player from behind when an easy basket may be made
- grabbing/holding a player by the jersey in order to impede their progress
- when coach/player says "watch, we're going to foul"
- excessive contact on a player attempting a shot
These examples should be considered intentional any time they occur during a game, not just in the last minutes.
