I recall in my classes the instructor saying that most dead-ball contact is incidental.
But I am finding the rules silent on this. 4-19-5(c) says a technical foul can be intentional or flagrant contact during a dead ball. It didn’t rise to the level of flagrant.
It is rule 4-19-3 which I am struggling with. The contact didn’t fall under sub-sections a through e. So I am left with “Intentional fouls include, but are not limited to….”
What are some examples of “not limited to….”?
Thanks very much!

If you felt the contact was intentional or unsporting, then you can go with a Technical Foul in this situation.
And what may be deemed intentional during a dead-ball is not necessarily the same as what is deemed as intentional during a live-ball.
Example: During a live-ball, if B1 swipes at the ball and hits A1 on the arm, that's just a common foul. However, if the ball dead (like after a held ball is whistled) and B1 swipes at the ball and hits A1's arm, that's an intentional technical foul.
