Why isn't there an official mechanic for flagrant fouls in high school? Is it a combination of mechanics (intentional/technical?). I think I had one last night. Girl intentionally swung the elbow and it connected with a defender's jaw. The impact could be heard across the gym. Sounded like a fist pounding into an open palm. Anyway, I called player control and it happened to be the girl's fifth foul so she was gone anyway. But as I examined what happened after the game I thought that I probably should have called a flagrant foul ejecting the player and giving the other team FTs and the ball. How would or should I signal a flagrant foul?
