Now you can quote the rest of 4.19.3, the part that defines an intentional foul as "away from the ball."

Exactly. 4.19.3.C is the relevant case play, and I should have told the coach that fouling a player off ball in this situation has a lower threshold for intentional. (4-19-3b and 4-19-3c)
In the end, it didn't matter. #55 broke for a long pass and never stopped running. Green defender never caught up and wasn't even able to make contact. White got a layup with about 20 seconds left.
