so you are saying the player can foul the opposing team any way they want to stop the clock, and the refs just going to call a foul..... that is what you saying. so if that play happen early in the game, the refs would have call a flagrant foul. you just said what I said, but with other words. a flagrant foul is a flagrant foul no matter if it the first sec in the game, or the last sec of the game.

Yes in a situation like happened last night it is interpreted as intent an official will give leeway on grabbing a player headed for a runout differently in end game situations. Intent not to flagrantly foul but to stop the clock.
