That’s what I was thinking from when I first read the OP: if this is under five seconds, there’s that case play that says to ignore the delay tactic if the clock is running.
But in this case it sounds like there were more than five seconds (slow-blow the warning if you must), and on top of that you had a home team player actively trying to get the ball for reasons unknown—probably just habitual hustle sans game awareness. So I like how we arrived at the solution of issuing a player technical in this case; it is very defendable by rule and the right choice to prevent escalation.
