Intentional Player-Control

A1 on offense goes through the lane within the confines of the offensive scheme. B1 is on his hip the whole way, a couple of bumps here and there no advantage. When A1 returns to the wing, B1 is still there on his hip. A1 now gives B1 an elbow to the head to gain some space. I blow the whistle, give the intentional foul signal, call my partner over and ask him to escort A1 to the bench. At the table I have intentional flagrant foul, two shot, the ball and A1 is ejected. In Ct an ejected player must sit for the next game. The Coach of Team A, of course, went nuts, when I explained the scenario to him he rolled his eyes went to the bench and made his player leave the gym.

I agree with you all, If you feel its flagrant, send him home. If not, PC and move on.

Actually, this in not an intentional foul if you called it flagrant. It is a flagrant personal foul and you should not use the intentional signal. Yes, a flagrant personal foul can be "intentional", but the word "intentional" in that context just describes the intent of the action, not a label for a particular type of foul. There is no approved mechanic to signal a flagrant foul in NF, so you just give the proper foul signal, then inform the scorer and the bench that the foul was flagrant and the player is ejected.

Of course, most of us also make some kind of signal indicating ejection, usually like a baseball umpire throwing a manager out of the game.
