You might not be over-reacting, but you might be making the wrong call. Contact during a live ball is a personal foul of some type. Iow, you can call this foul a common foul, an intentional personal foul or a flagrant personal foul. The only way that you can call it a T is to call the T before any contact is made, and then call it an unsporting act. Then you can also call it a regular T, or a flagrant T.
