Jim --
It's an interesting quewstion and points to some of the problems with the FED definitions. An intentional foul doesn't have to be intentional. If you look in the definitions, there's a little clause about excessive contact. I think it sounds as though that's what you had. the Flagrant is more for fighting and deliberate harm. In your spot, I"d call intentional, and then explain to the coach that that type of foul is also usable for "excessive contact".
