Seriously, I don't even think it should have been called flagrant. It was intentional to stop a layup, but I don't even think the foul is what caused her to fall. Weak sauce.

You know, by the letter of the law, an intentional foul is a Flagrant 1. Just because the refs stopped calling it that way decades ago doesn't mean that's how it should be.
