I'm paraphrasing the NF rulebook. I usually will call one if the contact was intended to injure or showed an utter disregard for the fouled player's safety.
Thanks...examples are always helpful. (just trying to understand the gray area)

Let's say that a player gets fouled hard on a layup, and picks up the ball and throws it at the offender?

One player says to an opponent or official, "Fxxx you".
