What do You Have Here?

Posted on another forum as well, but different folks here so want to get addtional opinions.

Situation 1:
Player A1 breaks away with a steal and is going for a layup. Before he leaves the floor and becomes an airborne shooter B1 commits hard foul by wrapping both arms around A1 to prevent him from leaving the floor and making a try.

Situation 2:
Same as Sit 1 except A1 has left the floor as an airborne shooter.

Based on:
ART. 3 . . . An intentional foul is a personal or technical foul which neutralizes
an opponent's obvious advantageous position. Contact away from the ball or
when not making a legitimate attempt to play the ball or a player, specifically
designed to stop or keep the clock from starting, shall be intentional. Intentional
fouls may or may not be premeditated and are not based solely on the severity of
the act. A foul also shall be ruled intentional if while playing the ball a player
causes excessive contact with an opponent.

ART. 5 . . . A technical foul is:
a. A foul by a nonplayer.
b. A noncontact foul by a player.
c. An intentional or flagrant contact foul while the ball is dead, except a foul
by an airborne shooter.

I know there could be a lot of "you have to see it" interpretations here, if you make a call here, would you call:
A] intentional; B] technical; or C] flagrant option of either intentional or technical.
