Rule Language Versus Point Of Emphasis Language ...

Plenty of rule language available, but very subjective, requiring judgement, and why we get paid the big bucks.
4-19-3: An intentional foul is a personal or technical foul that may or may not be premeditated and is not based solely on the severity of the act. Intentional fouls include, but are not limited to: Excessive contact with an opponent while the ball is live
4-19-4: A flagrant foul may be a personal or technical foul of a violent nature involves, but is not limited to violent contact such as: striking, kicking and kneeing.

True. Based on Point Of Emphasis language, somewhat less subjective:
If deemed not excessive (swinging) movement, it should be an intentional foul.
If deemed excessive (swinging) movement, it should be either an intentional foul, or flagrant personal foul.
