While your at it, please change this definition also:
4-19-4: A flagrant foul may be a personal or technical foul of a violent or savage nature, or a technical noncontact foul which displays unacceptable conduct. It may or may not be
intentional.
Yet, there is no such animal as an intentional flagrant foul. In this rule, the word intentional means the dictionary definition of intentional (having to do with intention or purpose, done purposely, intended), not the rulebook definition of intentional (an intentional foul is a personal or technical foul which neutralizes an opponent's obvious advantageous position. Contact away from the ball or when not making a legitimate attempt to play the ball or a player, specifically designed to stop or keep the clock from starting, shall be intentional. Intentional fouls may or may not be premeditated and are not based solely on the severity of the act. A foul also shall be ruled intentional if while playing the ball a player causes excessive contact with an opponent)
On the NFHS forum, when Woody talks, people listen. He kind of reminds me of JurassicReferee, who used to post on this Forum, may he rest in peace.
