Just wanted to bring this up again
To go back to my post on the second page of the thread: there's nothing in the NFHS definition of a flagrant foul which says the act has to be intentional. They are "...of a violent...nature" and involve "dead-ball contact...at any time which is extreme." The NCAA-W D-I official who sent those comments seems to have forgotten that aspect.
For that matter, there's nothing in the NCAA definition of a Flagrant 2 technical foul which says the act has to be intentional but at least NCAA gives the option of a contact dead ball technical if you don't feel the player should be ejected.
