I can almost guarantee that they agree that anything remotely "hard" will be a Flagrant 1 foul. I don't think they're going to let the good "hard foul" (as Hubie Brown dubbed it) be part of the game.

In last night's Celtics/Heat game, a Boston player was given a Flagrant 2 foul (ejection) on a block from behind where the player's follow through hit the shooter's head and knocked him to the floor. I can see the Flagrant 1 here (excessive contact), but I think the Flagrant 2 was a message.

I think you'll see the same mentality in the Laker/Heat game.
