by definition that is correct, an intentional foul doesn't NEED to be flagrant, but wouldn't all flagrant fouls by definition be intentional? i don't have my book in front of me with the exact wording, but it would stand to reason to me. you are correct though that there is no signal for a flagrant foul per se, i was just making the assumption that if you have a flagrant foul, then it must have been intentional...so you aren't really signaling a flagrant foul, you are signaling that the foul was intentional, and on top of that you have the modifier that it is flagrant, for which there is no signal..
