Wow! Sounds like a tough situation. You and your partner seemed to have handled it well. As for not seeing the technical, I would advise you that in the future, if you have a particularly hard foul to stay with the players for an extra moment and once they have separated then go report.

Also, since this was intentional contact during a dead ball, it is an intentional technical foul. To me that means that your partner can give either the intentional signal or the T or both on the court as long as it is administered as a technical foul.
