The above is my interpretation.

The below is not.

10-3-8 tells us a player shall not be charged with fighting, listing the penalty as two free throws for the offended team plus the ball at the division line.

Where's the gray area here?
The summary of penalties at the end of rule 10, section 8, tells us that the penalty for flagrant fouls that are fighting is always two plus the ball at the division line...so of course if it is a flagrant T as in 10-3-8 that would be the penalty...as it would for a flagrant personal for fighting during a live ball.

Anyway...
