I agree that the MOST important thing is to get the foul called. Throwing an opponent to the floor must be penalized. This type of rough play only leads to more rough play and possibly worse.

I'm going to disagree with Jurassic slightly because I think the personal/technical distinction is "a biggie". If it's a technical foul, it results in an extra possession for the offended team. If you improperly call it a personal foul, then we line up for the rebound and the offended team is probably not going to have their additional possession.

But again, it's more important to penalize rough play.

Please note that I did not see the play and so I can make no comment on what the correct call should've been.
