Great thread. Had a similar situation earlier this week in which our crew called it a technical foul (EDIT: intentional shove in the back during live play). I have since researched the foul rules more in depth and learned why a technical foul is not an option. The rule citations that helped me may help others:
4-19-5b defines a technical foul as a
noncontact foul by a
player.
4-19-5c defines the intentional technical foul, which requires the ball to be
dead.
4-19-14 defines an unsporting foul as
noncontact technical foul.
Thanks for starting this discussion!
