Contact during a dead ball is to be ignored unless it is deemed intentional or flagrant.
"Intentional" means that if it happened during a live ball, it must fit the definition of an intentional foul (FF1 in NCAA).
To do so, it must be one of the following:
1. Elbow to the head.
NOPE
2. Excessive contact.
NOPE
3. Done intentionally (to stop the clock or prevent it from starting).
NOPE
As Hokie noted, this is a common foul during live ball, so it should be ignored if it occurs during a dead ball.
