Flagrant or Intentional?

Impossible. There's no such foul and there never has been. You can have a flagrant personal foul or you can have a intentional personal foul.

The sentence "it may or may not be intentional" in rule 4-19-4 has been completely misinterpreted by some people. The word "intentional" refers to the act being deliberate in nature, not the type of foul.

And if you think differently, call or e-mail your IAABO national interpreter before going into one of your famous 10,000 word filibusters.

Again, there is NO such animal as a flagrant intentional personal foul.

You're right. It's a vegetable.

OK - I'll get back on the meds.

Perhaps I'm mistaken (very possible) or perhaps you've mis-typed (possible, I suppose), but I believe there can be either a flagrant personal foul or a flagrant technical foul. No such thing as a flagrant intentional foul.

You can, of course, have an intentional personal foul or an intentional technical foul.

You disagreed with him and virtually quoted him at the same time. Another way to put it would be, "There's no such thing as a flagrant intentional foul, personal or technical."

IOW (one more time), there's no such thing as a flagrant intentional personal foul or a flagrant intentional technical foul.

Well, I'm glad we agree, but:

Like I said, either I'm wrong, or Jurassic mis-typed (which is what I believe happened). I think he meant to write flagrant technical foul where I quoted in red. Or he's wrong, which I doubt in this instance.

Aw geeze, I was in such a hurry to make my point that I screwed up myself. You're 100% correct. I went back and corrected my post.

Thanks. Appreciated.

Figured that's exactly what you meant, but since we're talking about specific language here I wanted to be sure. I still find myself learning new things that I was previously very certain on to take anything for granted.

I don't know who you are anymore.

Including me. But Jurassic Referee straightened me out. It took several posts, but he was patient with me, and eventually won me over with knowledge and logic.
