Sorry Kerry, that's a penalty...and it has been called that way in the past...many times.

EDIT: Although I prefer it actually called by intention, that can be (and has been) pretty wishy-washy.
Agree with your edit. Yes it has been called that way in the past, I would argue however that based on the wording in the rulebook they should be calling it with intent in mind, in which case that was the correct call.

Guess it's just easier for the officials to usually take a judgment call out of the equation and just call it as a black and white call.
