I saw this in a high school game a few years ago as well, where the officials also went with a common foul. But as others here agree, that is not the right call....nor is it a technical foul unless the contact is intentional or flagrant.
The casebook is clear: ignore the contact unless it is intentional or flagrant. If you blow the whistle by mistake, then an "oops, my bad" seems to be the proper call.
