Second, you could have walked out of there with a holding call and just tell the player don't do it again. It's a JV game, remember. If he doesn't do it again, problem solved and you didn't have to burn an intentional, slow the game down, get one of the coaches upset, to accomplish it. Likewise, if it does happen again, you can now step up and call it intentional and tell them, I warn you in the first half.

I'm not limited to the number of intentional fouls I can call. I'll call them all night if the situation warrants. If officials call intentional fouls consistently, it will actually help keep the game clean and eliminate the cheap stuff, IMO.
