Michigan State vs Purdue

Interesting situation in the second half of this game.

A1 is driving toward the basket. B1 is called for a common foul before the shot. In the continuation of the play, A1's elbow comes up at catches B1 on the chin. The initial call, again, was a non-shooting foul on B1.

The officials go to the monitor to look at the contact after the whistle.

They determine that the elbow-to-chin contact merited further action. Mike Sanzere came over to the broadcast table to explain, and he said they were charging a dead ball contact technical foul on A1.

Team B shot two free throws and got the ball at mid court.

My only concern is with the terminology and the resumption of play. Should this have been called a flagrant 1? The contact that was penalized was completely unintentional (so it seemed to me), and wouldn't B1 get the ball at the POI (94 feet from their basket)?
