Unless I'd heard that particular player threatening that particular opponent with bodily harm, or if the shooter landed on her nose and had to be rushed to the hospital, I'd have called it intentional. Flagrant contact fouls during play, have to do with fighting and the desire to injure.

Even with the shooter landing on her nose, I wouldn't call it flagrant without judging there was intent to injure. Accidents and injuries happen, occassionally with no contact at all, sometimes when there is contact but no foul. That a foul results in an injury is not, IMHO, cause for an automatic flagrant.
