Flagrant foul or not

For example if a player is coming down a rebounding the ball and hitting the opponent in the head with an elbow where the player might not have even realized the opponent was there. After all players do try to grab the ball and come down with their elbows in some kind of way. Now our state clarified this for us here, maybe you need to get clarification from your people. The NF is just going to give what they feel needs to be addressed and the specifics are going to come from your jurisdiction as that is their overall policy it seems.

I guess there are 2 things to consider:

1.Was the action intentional.
2.How bad was the contact if there was any.

Intentional & Bad = Flagrant 2/Disqualifying foul

Intentional & Minor = Flagrant 2/Disqualifying foul

Intentional no contact = Technical Foul/Unsportsmanship Foul.

Unintentional & Bad = Flagrant 2/Disqualifying foul

Unintentional & Minor = Flagrant 1/Unsportsmanship foul

If we are talking elbow plays, calling a technical foul is not appropriate. This is violation or nothing at either NF or NCAA level.

Unless the official deems it an attempt to strike the opponent. He did write that it was an intentional act.
