The technical foul may be a correct interpretation, but this (above) is irrelevant to the post. The part of the rule regarding a player underneath the "grasper" was deleted back in the twentieth century, although the statement could be relevant (safety concern for player underneath) if there was a player underneath him, but there wasn't.
10-3-3: A player shall not: Grasp either basket at any time during the game except to prevent injury.
