How can you justify charging a team technical for a pregame dunk, it's a player technical?
See the following rule...

10-4 Bench Technical
The head coach is responsible for his/her own conduct and behavior, as well as substitutes, disqualified team members and all other bench personnel. Bench personnel, including the head coach, shall not:
ART. 1 . . . Commit an unsporting foul. This includes, but is not limited to, acts or conduct such as:
i. Grasping either basket except to prevent injury; dunking or stuffing, or attempting to dunk or stuff a dead ball.
