What is excessive depends on context of when the contact occurs.
Example...live ball and I swipe down hard on the arm of the dribbler in an attempt to steal the ball. Foul
I do the same thing after the ball is CLEARLY dead...five seconds after a whistle...that's probably going to get a T 9/10 times.
As to the video...I can live w/o there being a T.

That is merely your opinion. You have nothing written in the rules to support your personal stance that there is a difference between live and dead ball intentional/excessive contact.
Furthermore, my opinion is that you are incorrect. The standard is the same by rule.
