Intentional

[BigT]

Thank you.

Basically you can have common fouls when the clock is stopped and the ball is in the hands of the person throwing in the ball.

If you think they are fouling the big man to get him on the line you could call an intentional?

If they grab their best player to prevent him from getting open you could call another IF.

Wouldnt you say most referees shy away from the IF unless it is super obvious to not get pulled into the spot light?

Only the ones that shouldn't be officiating in the first place. If you think a play is an intentional foul, and it meets the requirements of the rule, have some balls and call the intentional foul. If you cannot do that, then stay home and help your wife cook dinner.

I should have this framed. It is the first and will most likely be the last and only time Johnny and awesome will be found in the same sentence on this forum.

Yes, I wouldn't say that.
