I have worked in three different states in two different parts of the country, coached in these areas as well, and know many coaches from all parts of the country due to my previous involvment with AAU.

99% of the officials and coaches I know think common foul when the use/hear the term hard foul. If they meant intentional, flagrant, or anything else they would use those terms specifically.

An example of a hard foul would be one where there is contact on a shooter. Rather than a "soft" foul that leads to an and one, the coach would rather see his players commit a "clean" hard foul. One in which there is a legitimate play on the ball but the defender does not allow an easy shot attempt/made basket. Its kinda hard to describe in words but again, 99% of the officials and coaches I've dealt with know exactly what it means.
