Flagrant and Intentional Fouls

I would like to add that a verbal foul, that might be a technical, could also be flagrant. I know several folks on this board consider the F-bomb to be flgrant. I ejected a player once (5th grade, even) for calling a kid a "Cracker". I don't think the insulted kid understood, but it seemed to me to represent an attitude of trying to start a fight. I would have done the same if someone called someone a Niggervvtfcf f f vg fvg v v v fg g cb cgcv vvg.g gffgvt btyytby678c (Thank you, Frank-Mason...)

Ive been basically told that in general, F-Bombs draw the T...actually ANY profanity heard should warrant a whack but I doubt I would T up a kid how utters damn or **** under his breath after a missed layup.

On to the flagrant vs. intentional...has a sitch Sunday night where the defensive player pushed with both hands the offensive rebounder in the back in order to get position. Unfortunately, the offensive kid was off balance and the result was him kissing the floor in maybe what would be considered a violent manner. I called the push and since they were not in bonus, admin'd the throw in. I did hear a LOT of "Thats a Tech" or "Thats Intentional" from the stands. These kids werent banging...it was to me more of a bad move not intended to hurt anyone on the D. But I heard about it. His coach removed him as that was his 4th.

Should I have called intentional because he used his hands rather than his body to establish position?
