I think I'm coming at it from the baseball mentality of an equipment toss that doesn't endanger others and isn't directed at/in response to an official is a warning.

All of those suggestions benefit the other team, just in different ways. Basketball rules don't need to be made so complicated like baseball rules. We have enough penalty variations already. Don't need more. Unsportsmanship conduct is penalized somewhat harshly in most sports and that is what this was. A T is the only option there is, really.
