A) I don't think you need to (or should) keep the fist up while you are conferring with your partner(s). By this time, everyone knows you have a foul.

B) BY NFHS mechanics, the "crossed arms" is only for an intentional foul. There is no signal for a flagrant foul. I do recognize that some areas have such a signal.

I only ask because in NFHS, flagrant is a disqualifying foul. Most likely, your OP would be an intentional foul unless you thought the player was trying to hurt his opponent.

Be sure to take lessons from this guy if you're going to call intentional fouls.

NFHS. Isn't a flagrant foul classified as a technical foul. Or is only if it is a dead ball

Flagrant personal = Live ball

Flagrant technical = Dead ball
