Define flagrant

[bigjohn]

I think it is a bit ridiculous that the NFHS does not define flagrant.

I know it is like pornography, you know it when you see it. What do you all consider flagrant?

They do give some points to consider on IHC.

9-4-3i... Initiate illegal helmet contact, (butt block, face tackle or spear)
NOTE: Illegal helmet contact may be considered a flagrant act. Acts to be considered
flagrant include, but are not limited to:
1. Illegal helmet contact against an opponent lying on the ground,
2. Illegal helmet contact against an opponent being held up by other players,
and/or
3. Illegal helmet-to-helmet contact against a defenseless opponent.
