Could it be? Yes.

Was it? Probably not.

As I read the play, and based on my observations of similar acts in other games, nothing meets the criteria in 4-fouls-intentional. It wasn't away from the ball, it wasn't designed purely to stop the clock, it wasn't excessive contact, it wasn't premeditated, ... It was just designed to stop the defense from making a play on the ball.
