Intentional Fouls?

[NathanRT]

In the same game I mentioned above, I had another intentional foul with about a minute left. Just after B1 passed the ball to a team mate, A1 grabbed him around the waist and hauled him down. After the game my partner said that I should have just called a regular foul as it was good "game management." He claimed that since the other team was trying to foul (which I disagreed with as they didn't foul again and were down 10 with about a minute left) I shouldn't call the intentional. Anyone else think it's a good idea to overlook something like that just because you thought a team was trying to foul? I think there was a POE about this a couple of years ago...
