The intentional foul. If you grab a player intentionally in the first quarter it is called as so.

If you grab a player intentionally in the final minute it is called as a simple personal.

Sorry not sorry

That’s not a valid argument.

Not a melt. Just a long held opinion.

Please feel free to show me how I’m wrong.

Basketball is just the holdover sport between football and baseball. Glad it's over for the year.

Uhh, what?

A take foul is a take foul in the 1st quarter or the last 30 seconds of the game...

7 downvoted but no one wants to dispute. That’s cool.

I dispute your premise. It's the same foul whether it's in the first quarter or the last 30 seconds of the game.

I agree 100% with this and wonder why the hell nobody ever seems to discuss it. If intentional fouls were called correctly you wouldn’t have these annoying arse ends of games that drag on forever either.

If a player is trying to advance a ball up the court and is grabbed that is a flagrant foul. It is excessive and not a basketball play.

It is not a flagrant foul at any point of the game.

Players intentionally foul to stop fast breaks all the time.

Players intentionally foul bad free throw shooters in the middle of games.

Flagrant fouls are reserved for hard, excessive fouls that could potentially injure a player.

Bryce Brown grabbed Ty Jerome’s jersey intentionally, but dumb arse Auburn fans want the double dribble 1.5 seconds later.

You shouldn’t have any possibility of reward for committing a foul. That is bullshite.

The only comparable I can think of is football where a dB will holds a reciever when they are beat. But even then it’s 15 yards and a first down for the offense.

It's not a reward. You are potentially giving up points when you foul. The other team gets free throws. Free throws are the highest percentage shot in basketball.

You just saw Virginia increase their lead because Texas Tech was fouling.

Fouling at the end is a desperation move like an onside kick.

Basketball at all levels is basically a waste of 3 hours.

It mostly just comes down to the last few minutes.

And if it doesn't, you've already turned off the TV.
