The rules at the NF or NCAA level do not use the term "clear path" or anything that helps determine a type of foul.

BTW, I have only once in my career seen a flagrant foul (based on basketball type contact). This is not something that happens very often. Hard fouls can be intentional and not flagrant. This just sounds like you do not know the basic definitions and really need to get into the definitions rather than calling this by the seat of your pants.

I agree with you, I'm not as sharp as I need to be with the definitions of these two fouls. During my free time at work, I try and spend some time on my rules knowledge and application. Kinda hard to do when you don't have your rule book right?(which I stated in the first post) It's been bothering me all morning that I can't come up with the differences between the two so I came on here to try and remedy that.
