I guess there is a need to be there situation for me.
Two hands in the back is not a "legitimate attempt to directly play the ball or a player." An act doesn't have to be malicious to be intentional. There is a fine line between a "minor" push and a push that puts the fouled player at risk for injury. I will always call this play an intentional foul.
