I counted the basket and gave B1 a technical foul. Opposing coach wanted an intentional foul which I don't think is right.

Coach was right; you were wrong.

A live-ball contact foul has to be a personal foul of some kind by definition. See Rule 4-19-1. You have your choice of a common, shooting, intentional or flagrant personal foul. An intentional personal foul seems like the best option to me as the player wasn't making a legitimate attempt to play the ball(Rule 4-19-3).

Technical fouls are defined under rule 4-19-5. Note that live-ball technical fouls are by definition a non-contact foul by a player(R4-19-5).

Shoot 2 FT's with no one lined up and team A then gets a throw-in at the closest spot to B1's foul.

Rules rulz!
