Hypothetical situation

Thanks for the information. Just a couple of question. Lets pretend for a minute that I know NOTHING about basketball. What exactly is a player control foul? And if the ref decided that the ball throwing was flagrant, could he call that on top of the technical foul or instead of? If it's not flagrant, would it just be a personal foul?/ With or without the technical attached?

And just to make it really interesting, the person involved in playing in Australia. Anybody know if the rules are the same over there?

A player control foul is a common foul committed by the player who has control of the ball. It can be charging, as described in your play, or it can be a push or any illegal movement designed to give the player an advantage.

The call on #4 is a flagrant technical foul. If the official ruled that the foul was not flagrant, then it would simply be a technical foul. I would call a flagrant technical foul.

When down under, one is probably playing by FIBA rules, unless the Aussie Pro League has different rules.
