Coach wants to know why the foul is ruled intentional as in his opinion B1 is going for the ball. I explain B1 had no way of playing the ball because the player was in front of her, and she took away an obvious advantage.

Okay, am I the only one who sees this as an incorrect call?
Do you call an intentional foul every time a shooter gets fouled from behind?
