Yup, I've tossed a few, and I knew immediately on most of them that they shoulda gone. On a couple, I did think about it quickly before tossing 'em. Any doubt at all, I wouldn't have called the flagrant.
I certainly can agree with delaying any final signal for a second or two- to make sure in your own mind that you really should toss the player. I can't agree with the college-level officials that advised you to come out initially with the intentional foul signal though. I think their reasoning is faulty. The plain ol' raised fist initially is good enough- you can then make up your mind if anything further is needed- i.e. intentional or flagrant.
