Contact----> either an intentional or flagrant personal or technical foul depending on whether the ball was live or not.

No contact----> technical foul for an un unsporting act.

You should never allow a player to get away with an act like that. A warning is the same as just letting 'em skate imo. And....if you warn one player for doing something like that, then you had better be prepared to warn every player in that game for similar acts. You gotta be consistent. I'll guarantee you though that if you're warning everybody, you're gonna have something additional to a push occurring sometime....like a retaliation of some kind.

Nip it, nip it in the bud!
