Rule 4-19-4 says a flagrant foul may be a personal or technical foul of a violent or saveage nature, or a technical noncontact foul which displays unacceptable conduct.
You don't think reaching out into the playing area and knocking the ball out of a players hands is not unacceptable conduct?

Lots of things are unacceptable conduct. Standing up and yelling at the officials is unacceptable conduct. Staring at an official with the "evil eye" while a player is being removed for the 5th foul is unacceptable conduct. A coach who reaches out and touches the ball is unacceptable conduct. I just don't agree that it's flagrant. It's unsportsmanlike (and stupid) and it's a technical foul.
