Ball size...no, not that

any decent coach knows that "foul him!" means an automatic
intentional which is why all the really good coaches I
know use a code word, like "red!" or "fist!" to avoid
the intentional.

So if a coach yells "foul him" and the player legitimately goes for the ball, do you still have an intentional? We discussed this in our association and we find it best to call what you see. The coach yelling will obviously let us anticipate the foul, but calling an intentional every time the coach yells foul him is too broad a generalization for us.

BTW, I'm a George W. fan.
