I appreciate the comments.
I went with flagrant as opposed to intentional because the offender was not fouling to negate a clear advantage (ie breakaway layup) by the opponent nor to gain an advantage for himself. It was, to me, clearly just an overaggressive push to get himself away from the other guy.
The ball was indeed live, just well on the other side of the court.
If I went with a common foul or an intentional foul, maybe things would have been OK. The kid may have had time to calm down as we lined up for the free throws (either the 1 and 1, or 2 and ball). My judgement at the time said it would be best to get him to the bench.
As someone has said before, I now own this situation should it happen again.
Anything else to consider?
