Here's how I see the foul call.
Initially, Ginobli's arm was reaching in the direction of the ball, but then after he made contact, he clearly changed his arm direction and was pulling on the guy's arm and no longer making a play at the ball.
After seeing the replay, I didn't think it should be called a flagrant, but I don't have any problem with them calling it one either.
Everyone catches a tough one every once in a while. Just bet double on the next game and make sure you win, and you'll be fine.
