We could (and I'm always one for ESPN Classic), but the POI rules weren't in effect back then.

I see the timeout and the technical as simultaneous (you can't give the technical until TO is granted, and you can't grant TO without giving a technical.) Whether you shoot the FT's, then go to TO or go to TO and then shoot the FT's, I don't think it matters (much) as the offending team is going to use all of the timeout time and all of the time during the opponent's free throws. To me, however, the POI philosophy means get the FT's over with ASAP - shoot the shots, then go to the timeout.

Now, my question is do you go to a media timeout (if it's the appropriate time) because of the T, or does an extra timeout get factored in just like a legal timeout does?
