Intentional Fouls

[Larks]

Personally, I think that the intentional foul rule for end of game should be like the quarterback spiking the ball on a stop clock (remember when that was intentional grounding?). NF/NCAA should recognize that the rule doesn't prevent the intentional foul, it merely forces us coaches and players to disguise it as a real foul, making the situation more dangerous. I would rather you allow the safe intentional than force the potentially rough "attempt at the ball" foul, knowing that the foul will happen either way. [/B][/QUOTE]

The downside to that idea is more free throws / longer games. There is always the intentional foul rule that states "fouls of a savage nature".
