An intentional foul (which you say it is) does not carry an additional penalty of ejection / DQ.

I've had this situation three times in the last 2 seasons...

I called all three intentional, and, in hindsight, one of them should've been flagrant. Totally depends on the severity of the act.

Or the frequency. Had a player once (in FB game) do this once in the second quarter, and once in the third quarter. I stuck him with an INT on the first play, my partner tossed him on the second one. Second was a bit harder than the first, but there was no way we were going to let him finish the game at this point.

To rephrase the question in better Officialese: the foul is at least intentional. Should it be flagrant?
