Basically all fouls at the end of the half and end of the game are intentional to stop the clock and give a team a chance. So why aren’t those ever called intentional? And what made our foul at the end of the first half be upgraded to an intentional foul? He shouldn’t have fouled to begin with, so not trying to give him a pass. I’ve always wondered about this.
Intentional Fouls Question

There’s no such thing as an “intentional foul” anymore. It’s a flagrant one or a flagrant two. A flagrant two is something like a punch or just trucking a guy intentionally and is an automatic ejection. Flagrant one is usually something like hitting a guy in the face, even if it’s accidental.
Yet they didn’t call TCU’s elbow to the face…said it was “incidental”.
It all depends on how they feel at the moment. A touch to the wrist is so much worse than the elbow in the face.
The rule was always interpreted “intentional foul for the purpose of preventing a scoring play.” Bear-hugging a guy going for a dunk, grabbing a guy intentionally to prevent a fast break. Things like that.
