By definition, you call an Intentional/F1 when pushing or holding a player from behind to prevent a score.
I don't have the NFHS book in front of me, but I believe you call an intentional regardless of the severity of the act, which is why I stated what I did (again, no book to quote in this case)

You mentioned both of these players were airborne, I read that to imply you felt he was playing the ball. My mistake. Fouling from behind isn't necessarily an intentional foul, it happens all the time on layups and fast breaks while a defender is trying to catch up. This is intimidation and punishment.
After watching this on a bigger screen, I'm with BNR. I'll call this a flagrant and not lose a moment's sleep over it.
