Prior to 2011, when the term "intentional foul" was still being used in NCAA rules, the meaning was not substantially different than the present Unsportsmanlike or recent past Flagrant 1. The term "intentional" was a misnomer, as the definition had
little or nothing to do with the player's intent. The concept wasn't meant to apply to the usual cases where one fouls on purpose (that is, "intentionally" in the ordinary meaning of the word), such as at the end of a close game where you hope the other team will miss free throws. It was just meant to penalize overly hard fouls. That's why the terminology was changed.

See https://web.archive.org/web/201606280148...es-changes. I've edited the table in my post slightly based on that reference.

Fouls language
The panel also approved a change in nomenclature on fouls that are deemed more severe than a “common” foul in both men’s and women’s basketball. The terms “Flagrant 1” and “Flagrant 2” will now be used. A Flagrant 1 foul takes the place of an intentional foul and the Flagrant 2 foul replaces the previous flagrant foul.

An example of a Flagrant 1 foul would be when a player swings an elbow and makes illegal, non-excessive contact with an opponent above the shoulders. The team whose player was struck would receive two free throws and possession of the ball. Previously, this type of foul was called an intentional foul. The committee wanted to move away from the word “intentional,” because a player’s intent was never the point to the rule.

An example of a Flagrant 2 foul would be when a player swings an elbow excessively and makes contact with an opponent above the shoulders. In this case, the player who threw the elbow would be ejected from the game, and the other team would receive two free throws and the ball.
