I don't think that there is a need to blow the whistle. Just give the T sign to the table and report, "TEAM technical foul, excess time-out." Then administer the time-out as normal and shoot the 2FTs when you resume.
Something that has helped me communicate that FTs are due to a technical foul is to give the T sign just prior to indicating the number of shots to the shooter. This is especially helpful when you have FTs for a personal foul and FTs due to a T being attempted in succession at the same basket. This clearly indicates the order in which the FTs are being shot to your partners, the table, the coaches, and any observers watching, and increases everyone's awareness of which player should be shooting which FTs.
