Do you call an intentional foul every time a shooter gets fouled from behind?

I could see this as intentional. Arm draped over shooting arm's shoulder while the other hand is grabbing the non-shooting arm, pulling the shooter down. You gotta be there or see it, I suppose. YMMV.

True, but it doesn't fit his explanation to the coach.

Good foul call but poor explanation to the coach.

Guess that's better than a bad foul call but great explanation to the coach.

Our former board interpreter used to say, "The best bad call, is a strong bad call".
