Ejection math 101

[Welpe]

Don't trust the rule knowledge of those commenting on Youtube videos, especially one like this.

As others have said, one flagrant foul in NFHS is a DQ. Many fans, coaches and even some officials will call a foul flagrant when they really mean intentional because the NBA (and recently now NCAA) use that terminology.

Sorry i meant intentional. I edited my OP. Do two intentional fouls equal ejection?

No.

No, only technicals are two and done.

So in theory you can have 5 intentionals in a game?

Yup, although it's doubtful a coach would let a player who's doing that stay in.

Unless, of course, your the varsity coach of the Connell High School basketball team.

In theory yes but I think by the third, I am highly considering upgrading it to a flagrant.

There it is. I've never been in this position, but a second intentional foul, depending on severity of contact, would probably warrant a flagrant from me.

The responses here are hinting at 1 feature of the rules and 1 feature of how the game is called:

Rules: by rule, there is no limit on the number of intentional personal or intentional technical fouls that can be called on a player, as such. The standard limit of 5 personal or 2 technical fouls in a game still result in disqualification.

Calling it: an intentional personal foul is called when either a player uses excessive force or neutralizes an opponent's obvious advantage. For the latter, few will seriously consider "upgrading" to a flagrant.

If a player has gotten an INT for excessive force, many would consider that a kind of "warning" to the player and coach that this level of force is not appropriate for the game. A second or third such foul would reflect the player's or coach's unwillingness to adjust to the game. Some would consider persistently excessive force sufficiently "violent" to fall under the definition of a flagrant foul.

Others would say that a foul is a foul: it's either INT or flagrant, and can't be called based on the game situation.

If any one cares in FIBA a player gets ejected once they accumulate 2 unsporting ( FIBA term for Intentional) fouls. They must then go to the dressing room or leave the building.
