I'm working on a presentation that I'm to present to our local officials association about intentional/flagrant/technical fouls.

In my preparations, I have a questions about the penalty for flagrant fouls.

4.19.4 reads
"A flagrant foul may be a personal or technical foul of violent or savage nature........If personal, it involves, but is not limited to violent contact such as: striking, kicking, kneeing. If technical, it involves dead-ball contact or noncontact at anytime which is extreme or persistent, vulgar or abusive conduct. Fighting is a flagrant act."

Further, 4.19.5 defines a technical foul as:
a. a foul by a non player
b. a non-contact foul by a player
c. an intentional or flagrant contact foul while the ball is dead......

Does this mean that if a player strikes, kicks a knees an opponent in a fashion that is deemed to be flagrant while the ball is live, that this is a personal foul and is not a technical? Thus, this action would be penalized by disqualification and free-throws based on penalties for personal fouls. (Meaning if the contact was in a non-shooting situation and the offended team was not in the bonus, there would be no free throws?)

If that's the case, I learned something. I was under the impression that flagrant fouls were always technical and always involved two shots and a throw-in the the team that was offended.

Could anyone offer some clarity for me?
