I say "easy you don't want another one" He starts to turn and as he does gives me the brush off with his hand. I then call a technical.
Good T.

I have some speculations on the word but I don't even think it matters.
Flagrant T.

I am about to whistle him for his second tech but hold back as I didn't want to seem like I was a hot head rookie by giving him his second T from 70 feet away.
With that gesture, I'd be thinking about forfeiting the game. No way this is appropriate, especially in an educational setting. In fact, I would hope my local board would enact a removal of services until a written apology is made and a suspension of 2 or more games. Short of the forfeit, a flagrant T.
