I need a better defintion of a flagrant as it applies to a UC type foul. I don't see any of those as defined as being flagrant.
I'll toss him after two UC fouls, but not for one.

Flagrant definitely is in the eye of the beholder - but much like the Supreme Court justice and obscenity, "I know it when I see it." Here are a few over-the-top examples that I think should warrant an automatic ejection on any field:
- A player or coach, in addition to directing large quantity of profanity directly at an official, throws in a ethnic slur or two for good measure.
- A coach makes a serious attempt to bribe an official.
- A player who scored spends enough time taunting the other team that the try is notably delayed. (e.g. running up the opponents' entire sideline waving the ball in their faces)
For me, these are all well past the point of ejection and into the realm of contacting the school AD & principal. Your mileage, of course, may vary.
