Because he said fouls to stop the clock are done deliberately. I don't know about you but I've seen many "deliberate" fouls that are not called as intentional, and they should not be. For instance some fouls on lay-ups are *clearly* deliberate but definitely *not* intentional. In the same way that so-called strategic fouls should *not* be called intentional. The fed committee has already agreed that strategic fouls are part of the game, they just want the HS coaches to teach how to do this properly and they want the officials to call it when they are not done properly.

That's all in there the press release.
