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.

Not looking to split hairs, and agree multiple USC behavior can produce automatic disqualification, whereas Flagrant PF is judged per incident, BUT individual PF that rise to the level of Flagrant, or if repetitive and repeated, depending on the judgment of the covering official can, and should where appropriate, merit disqualification based on their severity.
