Team Technical foul for a follower being so out of line.

NO.
If you make that call around here, you won't be working varsity level games.
The purpose and intent of the rule is very important here. The rule makes it clear that this is an extraordinary remedy, and should only be used when there is a clear disruption. The ONLY time I would ever make such a call is when there is a concerted effort by multiple individuals. The best example is the Florida game in the late '80s when the fans threw down tennis balls late in the game because one of the Florida players had reportedly spit on a kid at a tennis court. Or something like that.
