Or you can say, the player held on or used the rim as an advantage to play defense. That's two technicals, players ejected.
I guess you could reason that contact after the ball is dead is to be ignored unless it's flagrant or intentional. Another example of why you have the referee's judgment to go along with the rule. The correct call is one technical and the ball is dead. New 35 second shot clock after the 2 free throws.
BTW, what was the call here?

No, this is a case where knowing the rulebook lets you call the play
correctly.
What makes you think that the ball is
automatically dead on the technical foul? The rules say different. A foul committed by the defense while a player is in the act of shooting does
NOT make the ball dead. If the shooter has started the trying motion, the ball remains live until the try is over, even if the ball was still in the shooter's hands when the "T" occurred. The subsequent foul on the shooter is just a normal personal foul. It's a contact foul during a live ball, and the contact does
not have to be intentional or flagrant.
It's NFHS rule 6-7EXCEPTION(c) for anybody that actually owns a rule book. The NCAA rule is exactly the same.
Basic rule. Once agin, ignore any and all raving by the Master of Obfuscation.
He knows not what he speaks!
Edited to add the appropriate NCAA cite-- NCAA rule 6-6-2--
"A live ball shall not become dead when a foul is committed by an opponent of a player who starts a try for goal before a foul occurs, provided that time does not expire before the ball is in flight."
