glaring: a flagrant error. I still content that not all "intentional" fouls are flagrant - nor shoud they be described that way. As has been stated before, not all flagrant fouls are intentional either.

The use of flagrant in the context of fouls would be more appropriate than using the word intentional to describe a foul. If excessive contact can be apart of an intentional foul, it can be outrageous and scandalous in nature. Why not just call a foul "excessive contact?"
