All dead ball contact that is worthy of being penalized is at least an intentional technical foul, which results in two FTs and possession of the ball at the division line. If the contact rises to the level of flagrant, then the offender is ejected. The foul does not have to be deemed flagrant though. It could just be deemed intentional. If it isn't deemed to be intentional, then it is ignored by rule unless it is by or on and airborne shooter.
