If it would have been a common fouls had the ball been live, then it will be ignored (that is, it will not be penalized -- you might address it from a game management perspective) if the ball is dead.
Again, those are not opposites / exclusive terms. The foul called in this play will either be an intentional technical foul or a flagrant technical foul. It will not be an intentional personal foul or a flagrant personal foul or a common foul.
Please stop saying "it will be intentional OR technical" -- it will likely be both (if called) in this play. (Not directed at you alone)
