Last 30 seconds, white still behind, and getting desperate. White #42 does the foul-to-stop-the-clock thing by bumping black #12, grabbing her arm and then pulling on her jersey. I called intentional.

Only one question. Why did you let the foul turn into an intentional? You had two opportunities to call a common foul before the jersey grab. Sure they wanted to stop the clock but it sounds like they were doing so with an aggressive defensive play (bump) that went uncalled. Only then did they escalate to the jersey grab.

It happened in less than a second. She was trying to foul and just got carried away. They hadn't been fouling slightly and I didn't call it. She just went in grabbing and yanking all at once.

Thanks for the explanation. That point wasn't clear in the original post.

rainmaker,
I just wish to also send my kudos to you for a job well done. You seem to have come a long way in the few years that I have been a member of this forum. I would be happy to have you as my partner any day.

Despite my "objection" to part of your conversation with the coach/dad. Hopefully, you view my tidbits, which sometimes are nitpicky, as constructive.
