Rule 10-13 section 15 article 1
An intentional Technical foul involves intentionally contacting an opponent in a non-flagrant manner while the ball is dead.
If you determined the contact deserved a penalty (which you did, and as described I agree) your only choice is was it flagrant because the ball is dead this is your only option.
As far as the question about a screen - we are trapped if we make the call - you can not have a personal foul on a dead ball.
