Based solely on the judgment, of what the calling official observes, the consequences can rise to disqualification for both "Noncontact Unsportsmanlike Conduct by Players/Non-Players" and/or Illegal Personal Contact fouls

I am very aware we can rule any personal foul a flagrant foul, but you have to rule that an individual acts as a flagrant act, not use an accumulation of actions that result in a disqualification. An Unsporting act can also be ruled flagrant, but if you get 2 fouls for unsportsmanlike conduct, you are disqualified from the game. So a player could have 5 personal fouls and not be required to leave the contest. Not the case with multiple unsporting acts. That is why it matters how we call acts with or without contact.
And unsporting acts or conduct is a POE this year. We were told in our area not to go around ejecting players for acts that were not unsporting but PF in nature.
