ESPN NBA Ejection

Did anyone else see what happened on ESPN? Tim Duncan was upset about a call and got a T, then the official gave him a stop sign to prevent the 2nd. His teammate, Stephen Jackson, SLAPPED AWAY THE STOP SIGN. One of the craziest things I have ever seen. He was promptly ejected. Would you have just given him a T for light contact or is that an automatic ejection (according to NFHS)? I think the ejection was certainly justified but of course the ESPN announcers did not.

That would be the easiest ejection ever. A player slapping the official's hand? By the way, what is "light" contact? Any contact or an attempt to contact is way over the top. Whack! Gone.
