I can guarantee failing to raise your hand on a personal foul was a technical foul in the 1973-74 season. Not sure before that--raising the hand may have been recommended previously, or maybe failure to raise in defiance could have been T'd--but for that one season at least, it was mandatory.
Went a long way in costing us a conference championship. Bad memory.
I believe it was the next season, when the rule and penalty were scrapped.
