Seems to me you can justify a warning and a tech based on two separate events. By holding the ball once it "fell in his lap," he has committed a delay of game violation. By slamming it and imitating Howard Dean, he earns a T. Give them both if you want, you've got justification and a strong case, IMO.
At the very least, he gets an unsporting T for this crap.
