NFHS flagarant foul
 
At my son's game today, a player was ejected for what I believe an off-ball foul while the ball was in play (I didn't see the foul myself, but I *think* it was an off-ball hard shot that he thought he could get away with). I'm assuming it was called as a flagrant foul -- can't be a T for contact with ball in play, right? (And I didn't see a T signal on the play.)

I was surprised that the refs let any player take the FTs -- is that right in NFHS?

Live ball contact cannot be technical.

Accordingly, either it's a flagrant personal, which the offended player would shoot 2 free throws and the ball would resume at spot closest to where the foul took place

Was the offended player hurt as a result of the flagrant contact?

If they deemed it "fighting", a T could be appropriate (there's some debate). Otherwise, the fouled player should have shot.

Not the worst possible error to make.

Where was the ensuing throw in?

Agree not a huge error -- and no one questioned it (though I think the opposing coach was preoccupied by the kid who got tossed). Ball came in from mid court after the two shots -- which is probably where it would have come in for location of the foul as well.
