Make that 19 ... It actually looked like there was an attempt to play the ball. I saw the left hand swipe at the ball a couple of times (got all arm/body, but never-the-less), and that contact certainly did not appear excessive.
In my opinion, this is an official who is "looking" for an excuse to call an intentional foul. I don't think officials should be looking to call intentional fouls (only exception would be elbow in motion making contact above the shoulders since a common foul is not an option).
Given how bad this call was (again, my opinion), I have no doubt that something was said that made the T and easy call.
