David, the confusion here stems from the fact that FIBA apparently places "unsportsmanlike" fouls in the category of personal -- that is, contact -- fouls. In the USA (and Canada, I think), we use primarily NFHS or NCAA rules; and in both NFHS and NCAA, unsportsmanlike fouls are NEVER personal fouls. They are always technical fouls.
So when you say, "It's not unsportsmanlike; but it IS technical", many of us on this side of the ocean are confused. According to FIBA rules, it sounds like you are exactly right. In NFHS or NCAA, however, you'd be wrong.
