Not necessarily. 4.19.4 It may or may not be intentional.
Picture a desperate game situation. A1 has a breakaway. B1 knows that if A1 scores the game is over. B1 goes up and makes a wild swipe, (Aw, c'mon ref, he was going for the ball!) but
accidentally clotheslines A1 and flips him on his head. B1 is obviously sincerely sorry. He helps A1 up, brushes him off, apologizes profusely. This could still be considered a flagrant foul.
