This play actually happened two years ago in a WNBA game. It was ruled a flagrant foul 1, which is unecessary contact, player is not ejected. A technical foul would be a good option as well. The fist pumping with a player nearby is unecessary even if the player did not see her, it is her responsibility to see her. You can't ignore it because it was accidental. This could lead to something down the line if not called. I know if you hit Charles Oakley accidentally in the face then the next time down the court or even immediately he would accidentally hit you in the face. As others have stated you can't call a normal foul since the ball is dead due to the made basket. I would go with a technical in the high school game.
