Wrong way to call the play, by rule.
If there is contact, you can't call a technical foul. It's legal for a defender to bail out and protect himself before the contact is made, as per rule 4-23-3(e). Any subsequent contact is then ruled a charge, block or a no call depending on the defender's LGP and the severity of the contact.
The technical foul is for
faking being fouled...i.e. there is very, very minimal or
NO contact. That's rule 10-3-7(f).
Not a bad idea either imo to maybe warn a player before whacking him.
