I agree, but there are limits. I've seen a player literally reach out and grab his opponent's jersey with 2 fingers, then look at me expectantly. That's intentional or nothing, usually nothing.

If it's the ball carrier, I'm grabbing the foul and going to the other end to shoot the free throws. I'm not picky when it comes to teams trying to foul a player with the ball at the end of the game.

An intentional foul should pretty much call itself and the official should be prepared to step up and make the call when it happens.

Grabbing the shirt in the manner described above (no exaggeration, no kidding)
is not the right way, in my opinion.

Pulling the jersey is a no brainer - INT foul.

Yup. Called one in the season opener last year. The coach asked why & I told him. The coach said he accidentally got his hand caught. I am sure my eyes rolled a 360 on that one, but I'm not sure.
