A flagrant foul may be ... a technical non contact foul which displays unacceptable conduct... If technical, it involves dead-ball contact or noncontact at any time which is extreme or persistent, vulgar or abusive conduct.
I think of this as emotional damage, in the same way that a punch is physical damage. Such as the N word, or the B word (referring to females). Some people put the F word here and call it an automatic DQ.
