If that is the case it is a flagrant 2 and the player is ejected. I think the reason that Melo's foul was a flagrant 1 and not 2 is because it was basically deemed inadvertent, had it been intentional as you describe he would have been ejected which should be enough disincentive to prevent someone doing it to stop a fast break.
 
But to take it to an extreme, what if the Crowder's put back had been missed and there were two or three more offensive boards and a kick out and three pointer before the clock was stopped. How would you implement the rule there?? It is not as though the officials were waiting for an opportune time to stop play and make the call. In this situation they didn't realize there was a call to be made until they went to the replay, which they would not have an opportunity to do until there is a stoppage in play.
 
What if they had played on and each team had scored multiple buckets before there was a stoppage in play and an opportunity to review the tape. What if it had been Melo's 5th foul and he had scored those points for SU.
 
 
I think the rule really assumes in most if not all cases the initial contact will draw a foul of some sort and result in play being stopped. Interpreting the rule otherwise leaves you open to ridiculous results.
