4-18 Fighting
Fighting is a flagrant act and can occur when the ball is dead or live. Fighting
includes, but is not limited to combative acts such as:
ART. 1 An attempt to strike, punch or kick by using a fist, hands, arms, legs
or feet regardless of whether contact is made.
ART. 2 An attempt to instigate a fight by committing an unsporting act that
causes a person to retaliate by fighting.

4-19 Foul
A foul is an infraction of the rules which is charged and is penalized.
ART. 1 A personal foul is a player foul which involves illegal contact with
an opponent while the ball is live ...
ART. 4 A flagrant foul may be a personal or technical foul of a violent or
savage nature, or a technical noncontact foul which displays unacceptable
conduct.
ART. 5 A technical foul is:
b. A noncontact foul by a player.

The difference impacts who gets to shoot the free throws, the fouled player, or any player, even one the bench.
My mistake. Thank you, good sir.

You're too kind. It's me who may be mistaken. Maybe some esteemed Form members will weigh in on this issue. My opinion is: no contact, live ball, it must be a technical foul, but I've been wrong before, it only happened once, a long time ago, but I was wrong that one time, and only that one time.

Billy, your understanding is correct.
Contact during a live ball is a personal foul.
A non-contact foul during a live ball is a technical foul.
