Inquiring minds want to know.

I'd say this is a case of "don't penalize twice for a single act". A team technical is a lesser penalty than a player technical, so go with the heavier penalty.
In FIBA we don't have "team technical fouls"; after a delay of game warning to a team, any subsequent delay is penalized with a T charged to the offending player. To be honest, I'd be glad if the FIBA rules had a clearer position about delay of game infractions, but it's another matter.
