Exactly right.

And to add to this....
Nothing forbids us from warning the offender after penalizing them for the first personal foul. If a player continues to demonstrate rough behaviour after the warning, I am considering it flagrant in nature and ejecting him.

Last year, I ejected a kid after he was penalized for two personal fouls. After the first one, I spoke with the player himself, the coach, and the captains in an effort to get him under control. To start the second half, he did exactly the same thing that earned him the first personal foul and he earned himself an ejection.
