What do y'all do?

closed fist when blowing a T, are we?
Short answer, no bird dog for me.

Ok...Dead ball Technical mechanic?. Example from today's game: In this league (5th grade), We typically dont check uniform numbers against the book. Heck, there is barely 3-4 min between games sometimes.
In the 2nd qtr, I called a common foul (Push) on #32 blue. White is headed to the line for 1 and 1 and while we're making the walk down floor, white's coach is calling "time out time out" saying there isnt a 32 in the book. So, I go back to the table and discover that Blue's coach had listed him in both team's books as #22. Blue's coach chimes in and says, "oh, he usually wears number 22...him mom must have switched it".
I say to Blue's coach without much fanfare "unfortunately coach that is a technical foul showing the T signal. I let the score keepers know that counts against the team fouls and the coach know he had an indirect technical. I did not charge White with a time out. We shot the 1-and 1 and then the T.
Couple questions:
Should I have whistled or anything else special while signaling the T or was the way I handled this ok?
At this stage in the game, is this still counted as an indirect T?
