intentional vs flagrant

Example 1: Player A has a clear drive to the hoop and as he goes in for the layup, player B grabs him from behind and pulls him to the ground with no real attempt at the ball.

Since the ball is live, this has to be intentional right?. RIGHT Two shots and the ball for A. However, is B disqualified? NO I would not DQ him for this..


Example 2: Player A is boxing out player B under the goal and while doing so raises his elbows, swings and hits player B in the face. Had to be there to see this one. From with you describe I would go with a common foul.

Is this the same as throwing a punch? What are other easy examples of a flagrant foul?
