This is what I did. Gave yellow 22 a technical foul for a non sporting act. Had he actually mad contact and tripped him up, I was going with a flagrant foul.

Whether this act is flagrant or not shouldn't have anything to do with the player's success or failure to make contact with his opponent.
For example, a punch that misses and a punch that lands are both flagrant.
In my opinion, if you were going to issue a flagrant personal foul had the tripper been successful, then you should have issued a flagrant technical foul for attempt which didn't make contact.
