Cliff notes on fighting, penalties

[BillyMac]

Still doesn't answer the time honored question: If the first punch (and maybe the only punch) is thrown during a live ball, is the foul charged as a technical flagrant foul, or a personal flagrant foul. And it does make a difference in terms of who gets to shoot the free throws, the punchee; his substitute, if the punchee is injured and must be removed from the game; or the best free throw shooter on the team, who happens to be sitting on the bench.

That question is easily answered.

Any contact foul during a live ball is a personal foul, never technical.

A swing/miss with be a flagrant technical foul because you can't have a personal foul without contact.

Easily answered? So esteemed Forum members came to a consensus based on NFHS rules? I thought that there was still some disagreement regarding this issue?
