First time leaving a gym while looking over my shoulder

Good point. It's part of the complete coaching job to be ready for these situations. When I coached, we covered all situations at the end of a game.

Just from a coaching standpoint, we won a game by fouling (made sure we were going for the ball) when we had a 3 point lead and less than 10 seconds left. Only could get 2 at the line. Wonder why more coaches don't do that.

Reffing a V tournament game last year: I had one where the player was dribbling up court and the opponent from behind grabbed the shoulder of the A player. The coach couldn't understand why it was an intentional foul.

In the OP, it was intentional unless the ball was hidden under the jersey (going for the ball).
