Team Warning
A team warning is a warning to a team for delay for interfering with the ball following a goal.
I call this the "delay warning" option (four specifics listed, including interfering). Only a team (not player) technical foul.

Team Technical Foul
Teams shall not allow the game to develop into an actionless contest including interfering with the ball following a goal after any team warning for delay.
I call this the "delay technical" (four specifics listed including interfering) option. By rule, there must be a warning. Only a team (not player) technical foul.

Team Technical Foul Or Player Technical Foul
Teams and players shall not delay the game by preventing the ball from being made promptly live or from being put in play.
I call this the "prevent" option. Team technical foul or player technical foul. I suggest that a player (rather than a team) technical foul is more appropriate (it matters because of disqualification).

Team Technical Foul Or Player Technical Foul
Teams and players shall not commit unsporting fouls (not limited to).
I call this the "unsporting" option. Team technical foul or player technical foul. I suggest that a player (rather than a team) technical foul is more appropriate (it matters because of disqualification).

Which rule do we use? Ay, there’s the rub!
