Watching a game the other night I saw the guard, while dribbling the ball, unload with an elbow into the throat of an opponent. It was clearly intentional, maybe too rough, but I can't say if the intent was to create space, intimidate, or what. (The point guard is really a linebacker in the wrong sport, but such is small school athletics.) The official simply called a PC, and the player chuckled. (He did not react in a way to create attention at all.)

My question is what are your options on this? Anyone ever call an intentional Player-control foul and shoot 2? My understanding of the rules doesn't really give the official much of an option. (PC and away we go.) In those situations I'd like to sit the player down. Even the T doesn't fit the rules well....
There's no such animal as an intentional player control foul. This is simply an intentional foul. The official must decide if it's flagrant as well.

4.19.6D. Play: Is it possible for airborne shooter A1 to commit a foul which would not be player control? Ruling: Yes. The airborne shooter could be charged with an intentional or flagrant personal foul or with a technical foul. (4-19-2, 3, 4)
