This is an Men's and Women's NCAA Interpretation (See Rules for Refs: Basketball 2006-2007). This book is put out by Referee magazine and highlights all the rule differences between NFHS, Men's, and Women's rulebooks.
In the NFHS rules, this situation is listed as a technical foul. In the NCAA rules, it is not listed. The only one that comes close is (10.3.18), a technical for PURPOSELY delaying return, which, according to the original post, did not happen.
Overall, this is NOT a technical foul in the college game.
