I think it is. A blatant 2 handed shove in the back will only lead to something worse later. That's not a basketball move or play. That's dirty. Get her out of the game.

That is what intentional fouls are for. Two hand shoves in the back are just that, usually.

I worked a game last night that had end lines that had nothing close to them within 15 to 20 feet. I am not so sure I would have called a flagrant if the very contact took place in my game last night.

Peace

IMO if she lands on her feet and doesn't hit the wall or anything there is no way I'm going flagrant.

I agree with you and an intentional or flagrant foul argument can be won on both sides.

Where I am from, I believe most officials would call this flagrant with a disqualification and that call would be supported.

I think that was a vicious 2 handed shove. Above and beyond other intentional fouls I have called. She's gone and she can take the rest of the game to think about it.
