For NFHS:
Now strictly speaking this player technical foul is not one of his personal fouls. While it does count as one of his five fouls towards disqualification, it still does not morph into a personal foul. In this case, the player in question would be disqualified after committing four personal fouls or another technical foul.
It certainly counts toward the team foul count.
For NCAA:
There is some uncertainty in the NCAA rules whether merely touching the ball while it is in the thrower's hands is a technical foul or just a violation. Here is the NCAA approved ruling:
"A.R. 8. After a field goal by B1 with two minutes left to play: (a) B2 reaches through the end-line plane and slaps the ball from the hands of A1 or touches the ball as it is
passed along the end line after the score; or (b) after a warning, B2 prevents the ball from being promptly put in play by slapping the ball away. RULING: In (a) and (b),
an indirect technical foul shall be charged to B2 for delaying the game. When A1, in making the throw-in, reaches through the end-line plane into the playing court and
B1 slaps the ball from the hands of A1, without B1 breaking the plane above the end line, B1 has not committed a violation because the ball is in play once it crosses the
end line."
Furthermore, notice that this is an INDIRECT T, which adheres to the following rule:
Art. 2. Indirect technical fouls shall count neither toward a playerÂ’s five fouls for disqualification nor toward the team-foul total.
So, the NFHS and NCAA do handle this a bit differently.
