I think the person who put the video together and the announcers should all be thanked for being fans of HS basketball.

Yup.

That said, it's a common foul 100 times out of 100.

I don't believe I have ever called such a play/contact as an intentional foul. That, to me, looks like a strategic common foul.

Hugging the dribbler? Easy intentional. Go for the steal.

BTW.... "Truckers"?

Bainsey:

You asked: "Truckers"?

Yesterday, Norwalk H.S. finished their season (29-1) by defeating defending champion Columbus Watterson H.S. (26-3), 65-58, for the OhioHSAA Division II Boys' State Championship.

A case can be made for just a common foul and an intentional. It didn't look all that intentional to me and the offensive player embellished a bit at the end. This would (unless it's been done already) rises to the level of contact that after the foul to remind the players to make sure their fouls are basketball related plays.

Agreed...not even close to an intentional foul IMO.

Watch the foul and then watch the embellishment. That the official got sucked in by that is unfortunate. It's a garden variety and not particularly hard end of game foul.

The sad part is that a T followed this "incorrect" call. Not excusing the coaches or players (whoever got the T) behavior, but it shows how one call has the ability to change things very drastically. Most likely the T was very well deserved, but the times I have had an intentional foul I have not paused, looked at the player and then made the intentional signal. I have made the intentional signal as soon as my whistle was blown.

I think it's a combination of the dribbler thinking he was closer to half court then he really was and trying to make sure he wouldn't commit a violation...and a bit on embellishment on his part as well. Players will try to fool us from time to time, and it appears he got the official here. Agree, garden variety end-of-game foul here.

Anyone who thinks this is remotely close to intentional is..........

Don't exactly have to do a "Rodin" on this one. Not sure what "thinking" needs to be done. Pretty straightforward, merited intentional foul, especially given this year's POE on the topic.

Irrelevant is the intro regarding some "streak" or the other.

I've got a common foul, but I'd hardly say calling it intentional qualifies it as a "horrible" call.

You're kind.
