I know this is a matter of semantics and personal preference, but I tend to see any fighting as a (flagrant) technical foul. Per rule, fighting is not just contact with an opponent, but everything that "makes" a fight, including throwing a punch. (Yes, I know, going by this interpretation leaves me open to being blasted when I argue against the contention that you can't have a T/intentional on the inbounds because a plane violation must have occured first.)

Technicals are only given during dead ball when it invloves contact.
Yes, I'm going to be the nitpicker of the month again - technicals are given for all dead ball fouls, with one exception (10 points to the first person to answer correctly!).

Should probably read: "When there is contact, a personal foul is assessed except during a dead ball." (With exception for the previous exception.)
