In the case of a T for fighting, it is a flagrant technical, for which the penalty is the same as a flagrant personal foul, with the exception that the team now gets the ball at halfcourt instead of the spot of the foul.

That works for me!
I would also consider fighting somewhat different than a foul. And it does help keep the technical vs. intentional, flagrant clear.
