A warning may be given if the ball scored but not if it missed
the penalty here is stiff, 2 for the T, 2 for the US and then white gets the ball, possible 7 pt play ( if a 3 is made) or 8 if fouled while making a 3
jallen,

You may want to check the FIBA rule book (Rule 6 - Art 36.1.4 bullet 3, see below) regarding Unsportmanlike Fouls and the clear path foul. You cannot call an Unsportmanlike Foul when contact does not occur. Yelling at a player could be a Technical Foul for an unsportmanlike act, but IMHO an Unsportsmanlike Foul is the not correct call in your play hilighted in red.

FIBA Rule 6 - Art 36.1.4 bullet 3
If a defensive player causes contact with an opponent from behind or laterally in an attempt to stop a fast break and there is no opponent between the offensive player and the opponents’ basket, then the contact shall be judged to be unsportsmanlike.

In the OP...

Definately Unsportmanlike at the very least, more than likely should be a Disqualifying Foul (FIBA = same as Flagrant). I see no issue with the Technical Foul either as that was the 1st whistle.
