Intentional vs Unsportsmanlike
Forgive me if I have brought this up before.
Around 12 years ago FIBA changed the name of its intentional foul to an unsportsmanlike foul, the reasoning behind the change is that it is impossible for a referee (or anyone else) to judge someone's intentions, they can only judge the actions. Given that the USA is (IMHO) a litigous (sp?) nation and that people are acutely aware of political correctness and their "rights" does anyone think that it is necessary or that it would be a good idea for the NFHS/NCAA/NBA to change the name of the "unsportsmanlike" foul? I would be very interested in your opinions, and hopefully it won't just denegrate into a "metric FIBA is dumb" conversation
