SWFLguy-
While I agree with you logic of when to throw and when not to throw for clarification purposes (for the younger officials out there), the flag would be for "Unsportsmanlike Conduct" penalty rather than a "Personal Foul, as the action that drew the flag was for a non-contact penalty.
Unsportsmanlike Conduct fouls are always non-contact fouls.
Personal fouls (almost) always require contact.
