I disagree. That notion is a result of the Riley/Fratello/Hubey Brown mentality. "Giving the hard foul" was a common NBA phrase for a while. Even the NBA has tried hard to reduce the incidents of "hard fouls" by issuing flagrant fouls much more frequently.

Maybe not, but
excessive contact does dictate an intentional foul.
I can't comment on the original play, b/c I didn't see it. But the "hard foul" is specifically addressed as an intentional foul. Excessive contact, even while playing the ball, is considered an intentional foul. Just my two cents.
