I don't think I have ever seen anyone bird dog or even raise the fist on a Technical. I know I have called my fair share, and have never done it. But, according to the NFHS Offical Basketball signals, there is supposed to be a closed fist and a bird dog. If you look at the manual for the signals it gives the signal foul (clenched fist and bird dog) follwed by the Technical signal.
I had a supervisor explain it this way one time, a technical foul is just another type of foul that is reported. It just means that someone has done something the necessitates penalizing, and the method of penalizing is to call a technical foul. Therefore the mechanic for it is similar to all the others.
I agree with everyon else though, it just looks plain goofy to raise the fist and bird dog before Whacking someone. Besides, it just isn't quite as much fun if you don't get to come out with a good sharp blast and a good WHACK!
