Intentional Foul

[Nevadaref]

I think that in our society we penalize people far too often for what they may do or what their activity might lead to. This annoys me greatly. I certainly would not want to see it on a basketball court. This is clearly and intentional foul. A hockey hipcheck is not violent or savage so it does not meet the definition of a flagrant foul and should not be penalized as such just because it might start a fight.
Get in there quickly, call the intentional, and you won't have a fight.
