Rephrase it to read "it may or may not be
deliberate". The intent in this line was not to bring in the defined intentional foul but to describe that a flagrant foul can occur with our without intent.
They are indeed two distinct infractions...although they share several common attributes. The penalty is identical except for the disqualification of the offender.
I agree that with the new rule change, there are no occurances of live ball contact other than fighting that can be considered a technical (or at least that I can think of).
