When I stated not necessarily a T that was wrong, since it was a dead ball (after the whistle). I should have said not necessarily a Flagrant Foul, which would be an Intentional Flagrant Foul during a dead ball.

Two points....

There is no reason to call an "intentional technical". The penalty is the exact same as a technical. Contact while the ball is dead that is rule intentional can simply be called a technical (unless flagrant).

There is no such thing as an "Intentional Flagrant Foul". It's either intentional or it is flagrant. Not both.

Also, the term intentional is really a bad term since it may or may not involve actual intent. In this case, I actually like the NBA's method of having flagrant 1 and flagrant 2.
