I've never understood why that wasn't the case.
It's as 'intentional' as intentional gets. You have guys hugging players before the ball is even in-bounded. How's that not an 'intentional' foul?
Annoys the crap out of me. If you're fouling someone for the SAKE of fouling them, it should be a damn intentional foul. That's what the rule was created to avoid.
Instead they've conflated the term 'intentional' with 'egregious' and have had to go the extra step of creating an 'intentional 1 or intentional 2' based on the degree of malice involved.
Its ludicrous.
