Sure. It happened just last night

I called it intentional. My basis was that if it's an intentional for the defense to reach through and touch the offense, the offense has even less reason to do it and should face the same penalty. And it wasn't like it was tight quarters either. He had fifty feet he could have backed up if he wanted to. An indefensibly non-basketball play.
