Hope I got that right, I'm fairly new. Vets, be kind

You did very well. I just want to clarify the comment above.
An intentional foul or a flagrant foul while the ball is live is a personal foul. The player who was fouled must shoot the FTs, unless he/she is injured. The throw-in is at the closest spot, just like any other personal foul that results in a throw-in.
An intentional foul or a flagrant foul while the ball is dead is a technical foul. Any player(s) may shoot one or both FTs. The throw-in is at the division line.
Further:
The initial poster stated that "I know an intentional foul is one in which the player makes no attempt to play the ball,..." That's not always true. Even when playing the ball, an intentional personal foul can be called if there's excessive contact. I wouldn't call it flagrant unless I felt there was intent to hurt or injure a playeror, as Mark stated, there is total disregard for the safety of the opponent.
Fighting is not a foul but is a flagrant act that is always a technical foul and disqualification.
A dead ball contact foul is an intentional technical foul. If it is of a violent or savage nature, it is a flagrant technical foul.
