Disagree.
An intentional foul is *either* excessive (but non-flagrant) contact, or contact while not playing the ball.
The "foul" in this play was the latter, and I think the intent of the IT foul is only for the former.
And, I recognize that this is my interp -- you probably can't get that from a literal reading of the book.
