Flagrant technical fouls usually involve some sort of unsportsmanlike acts and most often occur during a deadball.
Both fouls result in 2 shots and the ball and the offender is ejected.

There are two main differences, and they are important.
1. Flagrant personal fouls come with two free throws, but they must be shot by the fouled player (or his/her sub in the case of injury or DQ). A flagrant technical, like any other technical, has FTs that may be shot by any eligible player.
2. Flagrant personal fouls include a throwin for the fouled team at the spot nearest the foul. Flagrant techs, like any other technical fouls, include a throwin at the division line opposite the table.
