You can use what ever verbiage you want, but just calling it "intentional" and not "intentional personal" is what leads to all the confusion.

I, myself know the degrees to which personal and technical fouls can be. I just thought it was easier to remember the procedures for the way I stated it for a new official.
Live ball contact=INTENTIONAL, Live ball anything else or dead ball anything=TECHNICAL. If either one are bad enough where you have to toss someone, add a FLAGRANT to the beginning. If not, then don't. Then follow the correct ways to penalize intentionals (personal or flagrant) and technicals .(personal, flagrant, administrative, bench, substitute, whatever)
You guys have been around longer and probably know more than me so I won't keep at it but this just seems so simple to me.
And MTD I'm not doubting you know the most important things to drill. But if I were training first year guys I would want them to know the most misunderstood basketball rules, how to handle coaches, and proper mechanics. Not just the signals, but where to be on the floor and when. But we come from different areas so maybe guys start with more of that knowledge where you are from, who knows.
