There, I just said it.
And if you refuse to believe that, just open your rule book to page 32 and read rules 4-19-3 and 4-19-4.
Intentional fouls and flagrant fouls are two completely different types of fouls, and never the twain shall meet.
Would you use the "traveling" signal to show a "3 seconds" violation?
Btw, in rule 4-19-4, you'll find wording that says that flagrant fouls may or may not be intentional in nature, By "intentional", the FED is talking about the adjective describing the "act", not the "name" of the foul.

Without having my book in front of me are you going to tell me that I cannot have an intentional foul that is flagrant? Or are you saying that what may have started as an intentional foul can BECOME flagrant and therefore is no longer intentional by definition? This is semantics to me....the penalty is exactly the same is it not?
