Sounds to me like you made the right call. Some technicals are obvious to call. Some are very subjective. Bouncing the ball in the manner you described is one of those subjective ones. My rule of thumb is that if the player is reacting to the call, it's a T. If he made a bad play and is mad at himself, then I don't call it unless he (for instance) throws the ball down the court. Even then, I may just make him go get it and avoid the T.
How do you make the tough call on something that's purely subjective? Simple - it's called "being an official".
