Everyone including our PA announcer and our scorekeeper seems to have been confused by the multiple changes in terminology over the last few years. NCAA MBB and WBB first changed to follow NBA terminology, then WBB changed again to follow FIBA, but the men didn't. Personally I think the change to use FIBA terminology was a bad idea.

Rough summary:

NCAA MBB and NBA	NCAA WBB and FIBA	Old terminology no longer in use	Penalty
Flagrant 1	Unsportsmanlike	Intentional	2 shots and loss of possession.
Flagrant 2	Disqualifying		2 shots, loss of possession, player is ejected.
Technical	Technical		Varies, 1 or 2 shots, with or without loss of possession.

thanks. very interesting! now i'm curious: any links to when women's college basketball eliminated intentional fouls (or combined them with flagrant one into unsportsmanlike)? they seem quite different than flagrant - strategic rather than dangerous.
