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".
I always say "had to be there," but on your examples, they strike me as potentially flagrant.

If the player throws the ball hard, perhaps in an intent to injure, probably. If he flips it in a taunting way, just a T.

If a player says F-you directly to someone, likely flagrant (can't think of a situation where it wouldn't be right now, but never say never/always).
