I agree that it might make things cleaner in some respects to divide out three types of fouls, intentional, hard but not flagrant, and flagrant. But you can get there by calling a hard foul as an intentional foul if you really feel you need to distinguish it from a common foul but not eject the player. If a coach whines, tell him you considered a flagrant and determined this was only an intentional. In my experience, its usually the other bench that complains because they want the ejection. This will be worsened by level 1 and level 2 hard fouls.

I fail to see a compelling argument for an additional category of "special" fouls. I remember the days before you had even intentional and flagrant. I think that both of these are a great idea, but it just seems that you could split hairs forever on this.

If it's hard enough that you think you need a flagrant, call it. If appears unintentional but excessively hard, warn the player and call a common foul. If it is hard and intentional, call intentional.
