Flagrant Foul, Penalty 2, violent swing and hard contact to opponent’s head Hard Foul, Non Flagrant, offensive player’s shot attempt hits opponent’s face Hard Foul, Non Flagrant, defender runs into the screener

“This is an example of a foul that would not be considered a Flagrant Foul. The offensive player, RJ Barrett, is in his normal shooting motion, and he makes contact with the defensive player, Furkan Korkmaz. This is a basketball play. The contact is correctly ruled an offensive foul, and not a flagrant foul, as the contact is neither unnecessary, nor excessive. There is no wind-up, hard impact or follow through by the offensive player. Again, this is not a Flagrant Foul.”
