True, however, the offensive player who was pushed was not the ball carrier.
There is a specific casebook play that allows you to delay calling a technical when the opposing team has a fast break. Unfortunately, there is no such allowance here for a personal (contact) foul. Also, the ball is dead when the foul occurs (regardless of when the whistle blows), so a delayed whistle won't help here (at least, not by rule).

Couldn't you dub this play "unsportsmanlike" and use the delayed whistle for a technical? I'd be tempted to call it flagrant and toss the kid.
