The Team A head coach protests, feeling the foul should have been a flagrant foul and is assessed a technical foul. RULING: Award A1's goal if successful. A1 shall receive two free throws with the lane spaces cleared. Any Team B player is then awarded two free throws for the technical foul. Team B will be awarded the ball for a throw-in at the division line opposite the scorers table.

Can someone please explain to me the difference between a FLAGRANT foul, and an INTENTIONAL foul? I have never grasped the full context of the difference of those two.

Rules 4-19-3 and 4-19-4 define intentional and flagrant fouls, although generally, a flagrant foul is a foul that you deem to be so excessive and/or violent it deserves a game disqualification. An intentional foul can be excessive contact (even when "going for the ball") or not making a legit attempt to play the ball or player (such as wrapping up a player to not allow him to jump & attempt a layup).

I'm sure someone who has access to the online rule book can cut & paste for a full definition.

Flagrant - disqualify player, 2 shots & ball
Intentional - 2 shots & ball

Ok. Thanks.

The only real difference is that for the flagrant personal, the offender is disqualified. For an intentional personal, the offender is merely given one more personal foul.
The difference in penalties should probably lay out how different they will look in the game. You won't get many flagrants, but you'll have plenty of intentionals.

intentional -- kid grabs a jersey while player is dribbling
flagrant -- kid grabs a jersey while player is dribbling and then spins him around and drops him to the floor

in the first -- its just 2 shots and the ball at the spot of the foul
in the second -- player is DQ'd, then 2 shots and ball at spot of the foul
