Because it's during a live ball and it's a contact foul. Therefore, it's a personal foul.
BTW, how is it "a more serious lesson," to call a T than an intentional?

Because you don't get ejected with 2 intentional fouls.
I realize the contact hurts the T argument, I was just wondering if you couldn't "rule" that the unsporting act happened before the contact and that the now dead ball contact didn't warrant an additional call. I'm just thinking out loud here, since I probably (not seeing it, my response always has to be qualified) would have ruled an intentional and left it at that.

I have a better question. Why is there a concern to "teach a lesson", serious or not? You hear this type of thing a lot from officials so I'm not just picking on you, but where in the rulebook does it say our job is to teach a lesson?
Maybe it's just me but I believe it's the coach's job to teach lessons on the basketball court.
No?
