NCAA Flagrant Foul

A very logical explanation, however how many players actually study the rule book? How many coaches?

That's what the officials ruled after doing the monitor review.

The way the announcers stated it, was as if they were talking to a community of Ph.Ds in Basketballology. You would think they would have explained it in simpler terms for the average sports fan.

Which is why the change in nomenclature...if fans, players, and coaches studied the rules like we did, then they'd know that intentional fouls don't necessarily involve intent. But of course they don't and why the NCAA felt the name change was needed.

Quite frankly, I wouldn't mind the name change at the NFHS level because I've seen too many officials somehow misconstrue that all intentional fouls involve intent.

I have always advocated for the language to change. I am glad it did at the college level. Something tells me it will be some time or never for the NF to change the wording. Then again anything is possible.
