Take 2 long steps preps for a tackle where he noticeable drops his center of gravity and targets his chest sending the kid flying backwards to the floor.
If I see the offensive player not aware or unable to avoid the defender I might have a pass and crash team control foul.
If I have had some issues with these two and I think one kid wants to teach the other a lesson by shoulder dropping a tackle into the player I might go Flagarant.
I cant go normal technical right. It is clearly not a basketball ball player to drop some chest/shoulder and bull dozer. Thats sounds like an intentioal foul.

What is "flagarant"?
You can't go with a technical foul, period. Any foul committed on an opponent that involves contact while the ball is live is a personal foul, by definition. Assessing a T here like your partner did is misapplying a rule, and justifying it is just making s*it up.
All fouls are either personal or technical.
