Hard Foul Question

Under NFHS and NCAA Mens rules, what are our options here?

I am thinking Intentional personal foul or personal foul.

Is there anyway B1 can earn a technical for his action in this case?

Thanks,

NFHS:

By the explicit mention of not being a flagrant, and along with the language you used, it is clear that a hard foul [excessive contact] be called. There is no option to issue a technical foul to B1. However, a regular (non-intentional) personal foul can be called.

The penalty for the hard foul is 2 shots with the lane cleared (assuming it's a layup from inside the 3-point line ) + inbounds throw-in of the ball nearest the foul.
