Sounds like PC to me, maybe intentional or flagrant. Since there was contact, there can be no T, but in the absence of contact you could have a violation, a T or a no call (although you said excessively swinging, so something most likely has to be called).

I still don't see where you can get a T during a live ball.

Rule 4, section 19
ART. 13 . . . An unsporting foul is a noncontact technical foul which consists of unfair, unethical or dishonorable conduct.
This is the only call that can be made for swinging and missing with a punch or an elbow that was meant to strike in the same manner.
The key is that there was no contact on the play, so a personal foul cannot be called.
Seems odd that the penalty is more severe for swinging and missing than for actually hitting the opponent during a live ball.
