What is the proper technical foul to administer in this situation.
Team A player who has inside position on FT lane and Team B player who has next lane position are jawing at one another in a manner that cannot be heard out loud. On shot and block out attempt Team A player (inside) winds up and drills Team B with an elbow to the ribs.
I give a personal T, two shots and ball out of bounds. Should this be a flagrant T though?

Well, there is no such animal as a personal technical foul. It's gotta be a sub-species of either a personal foul or a technical foul.
If it happened "on the shot", the ball was live. You cannot have a technical foul, by definition, for live ball contact. It has to be a personal foul of some kind iow; it can't be a technical foul, by rule. Your choices are a personal foul, an intentional personal foul, or a flagrant personal foul. If you thought the elbow was a deliberate attempt to injure, then a flagrant personal foul might be appropriate. If you felt that the act was deliberate but not necessarily meant to injure, then an intentional personal foul is probably appropriate. Judgement call-- your choice.
