Published: January 3, 2012
Please click on the link shown below and view the plays in the video. These are great examples of intentional and flagrant fouls. I would strongly suggest that you share this information with your board members as the season in currently in full swing. These plays did not take place in IAABO territory.

RULE 4, SECTION 19, ART. 3, PAGE 31
An intentional foul is a personal or technical (dead-ball) foul that may or may not be premeditated and is not based solely on the severity of the act. Intentional fouls include but not limited to:
a. Contact that neutralizes an opponent’s obvious advantageous position.
b. Contact away from the ball with an opponent who is clearly not involved with the play.
c. Contact that is not legitimate attempt to play the ball/player specifically designed to stop the clock or keep it from starting.
d. Excessive contact with an opponent while playing the ball.
e. Contact with a thrower-in as in 9-2-10 Penalty 4.
In viewing these plays the Crew has let more than one Intentional if not Flagrant foul go by. You be the judge. Coaches want these plays called correctly, even if it’s against their own players. Take care of the Basketball Players and get rid of your “Problem Child”.
Reminder: During a “live ball” you cannot rule these fouls as a Technical Foul.
