Foul after calling TO

So, why the question? Just enforce the rule.

Not having been there yet, guess I's just trying to feel out the sentiment for seeing Little Angus - splat - on the floor and probably no reason to call the T, despite outward appearances (and significant physical contact).

Yes, the contact would be ignored if it does not qualify as intentional or flagrant, but please note that excessive contact even while going for the ball meets the definition of an intentional foul.

causes excessive contact with an opponent.

Absolutely true.

However, bringing that back to the OP, you have to ask yourself if you would have called that foul intentional if there wasn't the TO/dead ball thing to consider. If not, then we have nothing. Except a timeout. And a stretcher for little Angus.
