Referees may use replay whenever they are not reasonably certain whether a foul meets the criteria for a flagrant foul.
The criteria for a flagrant foul are:
- Flagrant Foul Penalty 1: Unnecessary contact committed by a player against an opponent
- Flagrant Foul Penalty 2: Unnecessary and excessive contact committed by a player against an opponent
Reviewable Matters:
- Whether the personal foul should stand or be ruled a flagrant 1 or flagrant 2 (thus ejection) or a technical foul
- Whether any other players committed unsportsmanlike acts or unnecessary contact immediately prior to and/or immediately following the foul
- Whether a flopping violation proximate to the called foul should be assessed or rescinded
Both flagrant fouls carry a penalty of two free throws and the team that was fouled retains possession. An FF2 results in the ejection of the player committing the foul. A player who commits two FF1s in the same game is also ejected.
