Question One:
Is this delay of game indirect technical also a personal foul on the player who touched the ball?

If you are a HS boys coach using NFHS rules, then this is properly called a Team Technical foul. It is rule 10-1-5d. It is not charged to any particular individual. It does count as one team foul towards your total for the opponents reaching the bonus. It does not cause the head coach to lose the coaching box. The penalty is 2FTs and the awarding of the ball to the opponents at the division line opposite the table.

Question Two:
What is the correct course of action on this call?

Again for NFHS rules:
The basket counts and the player who was fouled is awarded 2FTs with no one on the lane. (Yes, that is
TWO FTs that are awarded even though the goal was scored.) Following the FTs the offended team is awarded the ball OOB at the nearest spot to the location of the foul.
The opponent is charged with one personal foul to the player who fouled and it counts as one team foul towards the opponent reaching the bonus.
