Well, was he right?

Yes, but I believe he was yelling that because he wanted an intentional/flagrant foul called, and not just a personal foul.

Thanks for the replies, everyone.

My point was that just because it's "an obvious fouling situation to stop the clock" does not mean an intentional foul is not the right call. It's not even really relevant to whether or not the foul should be ruled intentional.

So, my question, "Was he right, should it have been intentional?" still stands.

Oh, no. It was just a foul reaching in for the ball. Nothing too physical about it at all.

Got it. The fan thought it should be an intentional simply because it was "an obvious fouling situation to stop the clock." That makes sense.
