Excessive contact would not be the reason to justify an intentional foul here.

Let me ask you these questions:
Is this a breakaway?
Does the offensive player have an obvious advantageous position?
Do you believe that the defender purposely fouls in an attempt to prevent an easy basket?

Now go check the rule.
