There is no such thing as a hard foul. It's coach-speak.
For an official a hard foul means EXCESSIVE CONTACT, which by rule means intentional.
I had one the other day where the defender jumped had the shooter by the shoulder/neck with their left arm, blocked the shot with their right, smacked the shooter in the head on the follow through, and landed with both arms around the shooters head. They then finished it off with a little push at the end. I closed fast with the X saying, "Intentional, it's hard."
