So if the ref thought it was just a non-basketball play, so to speak, wouldn't it be reasonable to call it intentional?

I agree that if the defensive player intentionally push his opponent into another opponent to prevent a basket from scoring, it should be deemed intentional (regardless of how severe the contact may be).
