Since the contact happened after a missed field goal attempt, I am going to make the educated assumption that the ball was still live. Therefore if illegal contact occured, the foul will be a personal foul. This is a play that one has to see to make a definite decision but at the very least it will be a common foul or an intentional foul at the worst. I cannot see this being a flagrant foul unless he knocked out his opponent; this is the portion of the play I would have to see.
