My response to him was "It sounds intentional to me." A1 opted not to foul B1 at that point. I see no problem in sharing that information the team.

If you tell me you are going to foul someone in a situation like that, that is intentional in my book. If you don't tell me, then I have to judge is the play was a basketball play or a purposeful foul.
I agree.

I had the same case as you a number of years ago. I didn't call the INT. If I ever have it again, I would definitely ask (and suggest!) if the player is going to make a play on the ball.

I think a complete answer is appropriate, although with such an off-the-wall question the "complete answer" may not immediately come to mind.
