Since there is no such thing as an Intentional Foul in NCAA basketball, I'm not concerned with whether or not an Intentional Foul would be called if the ball were live.

For NCAA-Men's, the rule reads:

10-3 Art. 1d.

Contacting an opponent, while the ball is dead, in an unnecessary, unacceptable and excessive manner.

Nowhere in that rule does is say dead ball contact has to meet the same criteria as a Flagrant 1 personal foul.

The Flagrant 1 personal foul rule reads:

4-15 Art. 2c

Flagrant 1 personal foul. A flagrant 1 personal foul is a personal foul that is deemed excessive in nature and/or unnecessary, but is not based solely on the severity of the act. Examples include, but are not limited to:
1. Causing excessive contact with an opponent;
2. Contact that is not a legitimate attempt to play the ball or player, specifically designed to stop or keep the clock from starting;
3. Pushing or holding a player from behind to prevent a score;
4. Fouling a player clearly away from the ball who is not directly involved with the play, specifically designed to stop or keep the clock from starting; and
5. Contact with a player making a throw-in.
6. Illegal contact caused by swinging of an elbow which is deemed excessive or unnecessary but does not rise to the level of a flagrant 2 personal foul (see Rule 4-18.7)
