I guess I don't see the difficulty here.
Intentional Foul/Hard Foul: The signal is the same, what you call it verbally is different. ESPECIALLY when you are reporting it to the bench. Don't think any coach worth their salt is going to have any issues with that.
Flagrant Foul: The signal is a "T". I'll admit that I'll usually follow it with an old-fashioned baseball ejection signal towards the bench. We also have a requirement to inform the player and the coach that he is ejected. Again, I don't think coaches are going to have an issue with the mechanic.
I don't feel that changes are necessary, as both of the above fouls are rarely called.
My $.02 worth.
