1. Any team member can shoot the FT for the tech.
2. Only 2 Ts and the player is done. It takes 5 personal fouls for that.
Whether it's equitable or not, the penalty is more severe for the technical. That's not really debatable.

You certainly have a point, but it seems that you are causing yourself undue stress by thinking of this in that manner. Perhaps this is why the NCAA went to the Class A/Class B system for technical fouls and put contacting the ball while it is on the OOB side of the throw-in boundary plane as a Class B, which doesn't count towards disqualification.
It seems to me that the only real inequity lies in the 2 Ts and the player is DQ'd, while a player is allowed to commit FIVE intentional personal fouls before he is done.
