What he meant is that the part he highlighted in red was the answer; since the play was dead, the correct call would be a technical foul. An intentional foul involves contact during a live ball.
As you know from your own comment, since there was a held ball, the ball is dead. When the ball is dead all contact except for intentional or flagrant is ignored and if there is a foul, it must be a technical foul (dead ball). If you deemed it a foul, the correct call is an intentional technical foul (dead ball intentional contact).
