Intentional or Technical

I discussed this with the officials after the game. In their opinion, it was definitely not a normal PC foul, as A1 took her right hand off the ball to throw the elbow, and then made flagrant contact with B1.

They reasoned that since the foul was flagrant, it should have been technical.

I reasoned that since the ball was live, it should not have been a technical foul.

No Technical, "just" a flagrant. Toss the player (10-6 under penalties), two shots with the ball inbounded at spot nearest the foul. Foul counts towards the bonus.

Nothing in the mechanics book for flagrant. Do you just signal as a normal foul and tell the scorer that it's flagrent?

I assume that since it was flagrant they tossed the girl. If not, they blew this play in every sense. Just out of curiosity, what level was this game?

That brings a little more light to the situation because you actually talked to the officials and did not just observe something from the peanut gallery.

And no, flagrant fouls and technical fouls are not one in the same. You could have a technical foul during a live ball, but that would be for conduct of the participants, not a foul because of contact. That is a common mistake officials make in this part of the rule. Flagrant Fouls are not common so people think an ejection always involves a Technical Foul.

These are the facts. They are undisputed.

Why are you are such ...?
I simply took the time to read what the OP wrote.

BTW, I seriously doubt that the player was flying through the air like a plane. It is truly sad to see an adult display the writing skills of an elementary school kid. I can't imagine how difficult life must be for you.

I am an ... because it was not very clear why the foul had to be a flagrant foul? Flagrant foul has a special distinction that may or may not apply on this play at all. Just because someone says it was a flagrant foul (then says it should be an intentional foul in the next line) does not make it so. It is up to the judgment of the calling officials to call either. And you obviously did not read the next line in the thread. It sounds to me like the person was confused as to what the foul should have been and a player with the ball can commit a simple Player-Control Foul. This is not an "automatic" situation. It sounds to me like you are jealous of something because everytime I say something you feel the need to name call.

I would rather know that I made a writing mistake on a discussion board, then act like a baby like you do every time someone does not agree with you. I might write like I am in elementary school, but you act like you are in elementary school. What is with all the posts about the NF as if they have to answer to what you think? That gets old really quick.

For a flagrant personal foul and a flagrant technical do you just signal as a normal foul and tell the scorer that it's flagrant?

Yes -- there's no specific signal for a Flagrant foul. Some use the Baseball "ejection" mechanic.

I love the, "You're Outta Here", signal, but as bob jenkins so correctly pointed out, there's no specific signal for a flagrant foul on the NFHS signal chart. If you're going to use it, use it at your own risk. When in Basketball-land, do as Basketball-landers do.

I have only had to eject one player in my high school referee career. I think I used the crossed arm intentional foul sign and then pointed off the court like I was sending her to her room. It got the point across.
