First time leaving a gym while looking over my shoulder

When I know the situation is coming, and I have the opportunity, I ask the coach.
Not enough of us (and I'm guilty too) don't call the first purpose foul which leads the players to go for the harder foul and the cries of intentional.

Sounds like we're on the same wavelength. From my pregame:

Near the end of the game, if the winning team is just holding the ball and is willing to take the free throws after strategic fouls, then let’s call the foul immediately, so the ballhandler doesn't get hit harder to draw a whistle. Let’s make sure there is a play on the ball by the defense. If there’s no play on the ball, if the defense grabs the jersey, or pushes from behind, or bear hugs the offensive player, we should consider an intentional foul. These are not basketball plays and should be penalized as intentional.
