in instances where I know a team is going to foul I make sure I mention to the team/coach to make a play on the ball -- in an event where its a lower level game and they go for the foul and its borderline intentional i remind them that if that happens again it will be. never had a problem and I have called several intentionals in this instance for grabbing jersey, shove in the back type of stuff. only a couple coaches complained and moaned but there is no real argument there -- especially after i mentioned to make a play on the ball.
but for the first foul i am a bit more lenient with the intentional -- it all depends on the severity and what the kid did to get the foul.

2005-06 Points of Emphasis
3. Intentional Fouls. The committee is concerned about how games end. The intentional foul rule has devolved into misapplication and personal interpretations. The committee has revised the rule to improve understanding. An intentional foul is a personal or technical foul that neutralizes an opponent's obvious advantageous position. Contact away from the ball or when not making a legitimate attempt to play the ball, specifically designed to stop or keep the clock from starting, shall be intentional. Intentional fouls may or may not be premeditated and are not based on the severity of the act. A foul also shall be ruled intentional if while playing the ball a player causes excessive contact with an opponent. A. Anytime in the game. Acts that neutralize an opponent's obvious advantageous position and must be deemed intentional include: • Excessive contact on any player attempting a shot • Grabbing or shoving a player from behind when an easy basket may be scored • Grabbing and holding a player from behind or away from the ball These are "non-basketball" plays and must be considered intentional fouls anytime they occur during a game. B. Late in the game. Fouling is an accepted coaching strategy and is utilized by nearly all coaches in some form. It is viewed as a chance for a team behind in the score to get back in the game while the clock is stopped. There is widespread belief that it works or it wouldn't be coached. There is a right way and a wrong way to foul. Coaches must instruct their players in the proper technique for strategic fouling. "Going for the ball" is a common phrase heard, but intentional fouls should still be called on players who go for the ball if it is not done properly. Conversely, a coach who yells, "Foul!" instructions to his or her team does not mean the ensuing foul is "automatically" an intentional foul — even though it is a strategic foul designed to stop the clock. Coaches, officials, players, fans and administrators must accept fouling as a legitimate coaching strategy. With that, officials must have the courage to enforce the intentional foul rule. Far too often, officials do not whistle fouls as intentional when the act clearly meets the criteria. Officiating philosophies should not change because of the time remaining in the game or the score differential. The correct call should be made — not the popular one. 2006-07 Basketball Points of Emphasis 4. Intentional Fouls The committee continues to be concerned about how games end. While there has been some improvement in the application of the rule, there is still need for further understanding and enforcement. An intentional foul is a personal or technical foul that neutralizes an opponent's obvious advantageous position. Contact away from the ball or when not making a legitimate attempt to play the ball or player, specifically designed to stop or keep the clock from starting, shall be intentional. Intentional fouls may or may not be premeditated and are not based solely on the severity of the act. A foul also shall be ruled intentional if while playing the ball a player causes excessive contact with an opponent. Fouling is an accepted coaching strategy late in the game. There is a right way and a wrong way to foul. Coaches must instruct their players in the proper technique for strategic fouling. "Going for the ball" is a common phrase heard, but intentional fouls should still be called on players who go for the ball if it is not done properly. Additionally, in throw-in situations, fouling a player that is not involved in the play in any way (setting a screen, attempting to receive the in-bound pass, etc.) must be deemed intentional. Far too often, officials do not call fouls as intentional when the act clearly meets the criteria. |

![]() Golly Gee, it is a darn shame all refs don't call the same. We are sooo sorry to all the coaches and little kids who lose games because the refs are different week to week. Send us their names and we will take care of it. ![]() In the perfect world all refs would judge the same week in and week out. All refs would know the rules. All refs would never miss a call. Guess what? Life isn't fair - deal with it. Teach you kids and parents to deal with it. Do your best under all circumstances. There is not much we can do about it. The ones here on this board seem to be trying to improve their game, becoming the best ref possible.

I have called intentional fouls repeatedly late in games. Some examples: two hand push in ball handlers back in the bc, out and out tackles, holding a jersey, grabbing an arm and yanking. I am surprised how few coaches prepare for this type of play, but madly call for players to foul anyone, anyhow. I am also quick to call a legitimate play on ball that gets a solid block, hold, push foul. We don't need the real silly dramatic foul to happen, everyone gets crazy and it leads to increased chance of player injury late in a game.

The one's that call it use the term "game management". The ones that won't call it use the term "game management". ...And all will call it judgement. |

oh my gosh
I should have known better than to post again. This post doesn't apply to all but those few who really can't read and comprehend what they read.
The reason I reposted was that I was getting answers to the rule and not the situation. I know the rule and didn't need it rehashed or answered for me. I wanted your thoughts on that particular situation. It was kinda of a what do you think about this. Instead I got answers in the vein of I was attacking refs, I wasn't, I was just wanting to know your feelings about it. geesh. I know I am going to get crucified for saying this but I just seem to not be able to keep my mouth shut. From my short time on this board, it appears to me that not all, but some of you refs have a real chip on your shoulder towards anyone who isn't one. I asked a seeminly innocent question and I get answers like, "geesh, what do you expect from us" " give us the names of those refs and we will deal with it" Can't you answer a question without APPEARING to be hostile?? I've gotten a few real good answers from what appears to be level headed good kind hearted refs, but I find myself not wanting to post afraid that I will get nailed for asking a stupid question or one that rubs some refs the wrong way. Oh well. |

Alas judgment vs. personal interpretations.
The default SHOULD BE an intentional unless the player really makes a legitimate attempt to get the ball. I think right now its the other way around.
