Define flagrant

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.

c. Flagrant - a foul so severe or extreme that it places an opponent in danger of serious injury, and/or involves violations that are extremely or persistently vulgar or abusive conduct.

When you're looking for a definition of a term, I suggest looking in the Definitions section first. Shouldn't be too hard - it's alphabetical.

I meant did a search on this site.
Plus the word flagrant is in the fouls. I did not search on my kindle but I should have, I get it.

I'm not real impressed with the search function on The Arbiter's online NFHS publications. Sometime it can't find a phrase I know good and well is in the rule book. Other times it will pull up rule cites that have nothing to do with what is being searched.

I haven't tried the Kindle/e-book version as frankly I've paid enough in NFHS membership and booking fees this year that I don't feel like shelling out anything extra.

Just busting your chops, Johnboy
