When deciding between intentional and flagrant in a situation like this, the book definitions give us some great adjectives to aid in the decision-making process. 4-19-3d gives one definition of an intentional foul as "
Excessive contact with an opponent..." and 4-19-4 says a flagrant foul may be "a...foul of a
violent or
savage nature..."
So, if you think the contact is merely
excessive, it's an intentional foul. If you think the contact is
violent or
savage, it should be a flagrant foul and the offender should be disqualified. It's impossible to pass judgment on a play without seeing video, but in OP, it sounds like H1 has
excessively contacted an opponent and is thus guilty of an intentional personal foul.
