For me personally, if it makes me say/think "Oh HELL no", it's flagrant. Hasn't happened yet in a basketball game, thankfully.
That's a great way to describe it. I never had a flagrant personal call in the 6-7 years during my first officiating stint. I had my first flagrant personal call in a men's YMCA league a few months ago, and "Oh HELL no" summarizes my reaction to the play perfectly.

FWIW, the offending player is a friend and my insurance agent!
