Description: In basketball, a flagrant foul is a personal foul that involves excessive or violent contact that could injure the fouled player. A flagrant foul may be unintentional or purposeful; the latter type is also called an "intentional foul" in the NBA. However, most intentional fouls are not considered flagrant and fouling intentionally is an accepted tactic to regain possession of the ball with minimal time off the game clock. Image shows Jordan Farmar (No. 5 in purple) flagrantly fouling Rajon Rondo (No. 9 in white) as Rondo attempts a dunk.
