That's exactly what happened here. This is not even close to anything under player technical.

It's also not anywhere close to being a personal foul.

Sure.

A personal foul is a player foul which involves illegal contact with an opponent while the ball is live.

Illegal contact is addressed under 10-6, where nothing defines contact as touching an opponent with the ball. All articles address illegal personal contact.
