Player Control vs. Intentional Foul

Airborne shooter A-1 intentionally fouls B-1. Ball enters basket. Official rules this an Intentional Foul. Do you count the basket since this is not a player control foul?

"...An intentional foul is a personal or technical foul designed to stop or keep the clock from starting, to neutralize an opponents obvious advantageous position, contact away from the ball or when not playing the ball."

JB,
By what definition has the Official ruled "Intentional".
Perhaps it could be "Flagrant". Perhaps "Player Control".
Perhaps the official kicked the description. Was the shooter still airborn? How can this occur?
