Fouls?
 

Can anyone give me common examples and a brief defintion of these types of fouls? I am having difficulty understanding the different types of fouls.

Intentional personal foul?
Intentional technical foul?
Flagrant personal foul?
Flagrant technical foul?

Thanks

A contact foul during a live ball which is designed solely to stop the clock or to neutralize an opponent's obvious advantageous position. It can also be a personal foul which uses excessive force, even while playing the ball.

Examples: Bear-hugging a player so that he/she can't receive the throw-in. Fouling the inbounder. Throwing an airborne shooter to the floor. The NBA-style "hard foul".

A contact foul during a dead ball.

Example: Shoving an opponent after the whistle has blown to stop play.

A contact foul during a live ball which uses excessive force and shows an intent to injure.

Examples: Punching or kicking an opponent. Any attempt to strike an opponent. Undercutting an airborne shooter ("taking out the legs").

A contact foul during a dead ball which uses excessive force and shows an intent to injure. Or a non-contact foul which is extreme, vulgar or abusive.

Examples: Any attempt to strike an opponent (during a dead ball). Excessive or abusive language directed at an opponent or official. Taunting an opponent based on race/gender/sexual orientation.

Those are examples, but not the whole list. You can probably come with others. Hope it helps.
