Intentional Foul by the Shooter

I am thinking this happened in a Marquette or Georgetown game and was perhaps reviewed on this site.

College does not have intentional fouls anymore, so we do not have to worry about that part. And intentional fouls at the HS level (and when college had them) they were not based on intent.
