I'm having trouble coming up with any rule reference that makes this a technical foul.  It's listed specifically in Rule 9, which is Violations, and gives the penalty as the "delayed violation" where the shooter is given a substitute shot if s/he misses.  What other references are there?

 If a player refuses, use R10-3-6(a). If it's a coach use R10-1-5(b), or if you want to make sure that a direct T is charged to him, use the generic R10-4-1-- "commit an unsporting act". Refusing a direct request from an official to get the game underway can certainly be construed and interpreted as an unsporting act.
