You are correct about NFHS R10-S3-A10, but the definition of a personal foul takes precedence in defining what is and is not a personal foul.

Not that it's really critical (b/c whether it's a flagrant personal or flagrant technical, the player is ejected), but why would you say that the "personal" definition "takes precedence"? I'm pretty sure that the Rule 10 reference is explicit. A player is charged with a flagrant technical foul when -- he is charged with fighting. This seems pretty clear. Why would a much more complicated explanation have precedence?

Another point that should be remembered that may not be apparent is that you can have only one person charged with fighting. A player's actions can be to instigate a fight and if the victim does not retaliate then only one person is charged with fighting.

I agree completely, but this isn't the case in the example you cited. You talked about two players exchanging punches. So while I agree with your point above, I'm not sure why you made it. What were you trying to get at?
