Hello all, I am a new official, I would like to make sure I understand the difference between an intentional foul, and a flagrant foul, I know an intentional foul is one in which the player makes no attempt to play the ball, I assume a flagrant foul is the same except for more violent contact. Is this right or wrong? Also please clear me up on the penalties for each of the above type of fouls. I assume a flagrant foul would result in ejection for the player.
I had a situation in my last game where a player was going in for a break a way layup, and the defensive player caught up to him just as he was going up to shoot, and fouled the shooter pretty hard from behind, should I have called an intentional foul, I think the main intent was to commit the foul, not really try and block the shot.
