But in no way does the signal boxy you in. You do not even have to give the signal at all, but since intentional fouls have more penalities related, you can always upgrade. I would not downgrade if I gave that signal.

I agree with this. We were always taught you can upgrade a foul (personal to intentional, intentional to flagrant) but not to downgrade (i.e., can't put the toothpaste back in the tube once you call a "T").
