I agree, especially in a late-game situation, that you may want to avoid giving an excessive TO technical......but, unless you can reaaaaly sell it to a coach, I think you need to grant the TO and give the technical. If he has 1 timeout left, are you going to not grant the timeout? No. Why do anything different because the team has 0 timeouts left. If you don't call the TO/technical, and I'm Team B's coach, we're shooting at least two more FTs for my technical too.
You went w/ your gut and followed the rules...good job. Don't second guess yourself.
