Anything to the head WITH CONTACT is flagrant with no exceptions. A swing and a miss is a tech, swing and a HIT is a ticket outa here for the rest of the game.

In the first situation above,you can't call a technical foul of any type,by rule,if the ball is alive.You have to call a personal foul of some type-probably an intentional personal foul in this case.Rules references are NFHS R4-19-1 and R4-19-5,and NCAA R4-26-1 and R4-26-3,5,7.
In the second situation,a swing and a miss is a violation if the ball is alive,by rule also,not a technical foul.Rule 9-13-1 plus Penalty in NFHS covers it.The terminology "excessive" is already used to justify a violation being called.
