I like the Intent & Purpose reasoning however in the FIBA game under 38.3.1 deals with this action directly.
"Delaying the game by deliberately touch the ball after it passes through the basket or preventing a throw-in from being taken promptly." = Technical Foul.
We've been instructed to 1st warn, which includes all team members of the offending team, then apply the Technical Foul rule on the 2nd occurance.
Maybe it's just my "charming" personality but I have yet to assess a technical foul for this infraction. Lots of warnings but no "T" yet...
