If not a flagrant, definitely a technical.

One, he got him across the shoulder...which is something to look for for flagrant fouls in the NBA but he didn't get hit in the face.
Two, this wouldn't be grounds for a technical foul in the NBA...that contact would not be considered unsporting. And since the ball was still technically live (as the player was clearly in the act of shooting), you wouldn't call a technical foul for dead ball contact that is NFHS: intentional or flagrant.
My guess, there was no wind up, no hard or significant impact, and not enough of a follow through to warrant a flagrant foul penalty one.
