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?

Swinging elbows is a VIOLATION per last year's rule changes. Haven't seen it called but maybe twice.
Swinging elbows and making contact is a Technical foul - two shots by anyone (is that right?) and the ball at the division line.
If the contact is sufficiently violent, a flagrant foul is warranted - two shots, the ball, AND EJECTION of the offender.

Swinging elbows and making contact during a live ball is a personal foul of some type. Depending on the severity, it could be a PC foul, or an intentional or flagrant personal foul. During a dead ball, the act could be a "T" even if the elbow missed. If the elbow connects during a dead ball, it has to be an intentional or flagrant technical foul, depending on the severity.
