With all due respect, I am sorry but I am not going to ignore this contact.
If this type of action/foul happened during a live ball, it would be a common foul (since the contact was neither intentional or flagrant). But since this occurred during a dead ball (whistle blown for the jump ball), it would be penalized as a intentional technical.

If you're not going to call the slap on the arm an INT or FLAG foul during a live ball, why would you do it during a dead ball?
