2) With the kid making the legit attempt on the ball, I think by rule you have to leave it alone or call a tech.

1) That has to be the longest sentence ever written.
Anyway....the reason
for the tech
is to penalize a player for trying to bring attention to himself. The judgement involved is whether the defender was legitimately trying to block the shot or was just whacking the board to make noise. Whether the ball goes in or not is
never relevant to the call in any way.
2) Wrong. You
can't call a "T" by rule ever on a legitimate attempt to make a block.
See the
COMMENT in case book play 10.3.5. The interpretation is exactly the same in NCAA.
